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 designated snow routes and review avalanche forecasts before heading out. Keep dogs on a leash and steer clear of peaceful zones.
Review safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings abundant blossoms in many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent widening trails, and head out at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early to reach glaciers, swim only in designated spots, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden woodlands and cooler mornings invite calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on sturdy paths.
