Choose the best month for the ideal experience
Pair activities with safer, low-impact windows: avalanche advisories in winter, blooms in spring, cooler mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Cold Season
Stay on designated snow paths and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep pets leashed and steer clear of tranquil zones.
Review safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring ushers in blooms in many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier access, swim only in approved zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden woodlands and crisper mornings set the stage for gentler hikes. Opt for quieter shelters and stick to sturdy trails.
