Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2026
Cold Season
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche forecasts before venturing out. Keep pets leashed and steer clear of peaceful zones.
Review safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: avoid muddy edges to curb trail widening, and hike at dawn to spot birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier viewpoints, swim only in approved zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Fall
Golden forests and cooler mornings yield gentler hikes. Pick quieter shelters and stay on sturdy trails.
