Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.

Cold Season
Follow designated snow trails and review avalanche status before heading out. Keep pets leashed and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Springtime
Late spring brings blossoms to many valleys: stay off muddy edges to prevent widening trails, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Warm Season
Tackle glaciers at first light, swim only in designated zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Fall
Golden woods and cooler mornings usher in calmer hikes. Opt for less busy huts and stick to sturdy trails.
