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

Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and verify avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
In late spring, valleys bloom; avoid muddy sides to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier views, swim only in authorized zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings yield mellower hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on sturdy trails.
