Choose the ideal month for the ideal experience
Coordinate activities with safer, lower-footprint windows: avalanche checks in the cold season, blossoms in the mild season, refreshing mornings in the warm season, and serene ridgelines in the fall.
Cold season
Stay on designated snow paths and review avalanche forecasts before heading out. Keep pets leashed and steer clear of quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Bursting spring
The late spring period brings abundant blossoms in many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent widening trails, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Warm season
Begin early for glacier views, cool off only in approved zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Fall period
Amber forests and chill mornings yield gentler hikes. Opt for quieter shelters and stick to sturdy trails.
