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

Winter
Stay on marked snow routes and assess avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs leashed and avoid quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is bloom season in many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and head out at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings yield calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stick to sturdy trails.
