Align activities with safer, lighter-impact windows: winter avalanche checks, spring blooms, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: August 2024
Winter
Follow designated snow routes and review avalanche risk before heading out. Keep pets on a leash and avoid tranquil zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to minimize trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier visits, swim only in designated zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings set the stage for calmer hikes. Opt for quieter refuges and stick to sturdy trails.
