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

Winter
Stick to marked snow routes and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs leashed and avoid quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blossoms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Start early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings lead to calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on durable trails.
