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

Winter season
Stick to designated snow trails and verify avalanche conditions before you head out. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of tranquil areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent widening of trails, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier access, swim only in approved zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings make for more peaceful hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stick to sturdy trails.
