Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2025
Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche forecasts before heading out. Leash pets and avoid secluded zones.
Review safety bulletin
Spring
In late spring, blossoms fill many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to protect trails, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early to reach glaciers, bathe only in designated zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler dawns lead to quieter hikes. Opt for less busy refuges and keep to sturdy trails.
