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

Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche status before heading out. Keep dogs on a leash and avoid tranquil zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is bloom time in many valleys: steer clear of muddy rims to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early to reach glaciers, swim only in approved zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings lead to gentler hikes. Opt for less crowded huts and keep to sturdy trails.
