Coordinate activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and serene ridgelines in autumn.

Winter
Stick to marked snow routes and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs leashed and avoid tranquil zones.
Review safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is bloom season in many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings yield calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on sturdy paths.
