Schedule activities to safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.

Winter
Stay on marked snow routes and review avalanche status before heading out. Keep dogs leashed and avoid quiet zones.

Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: avoid muddy edges to protect trails, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Start early for glacier views, swim only in approved zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings lead to calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stick to sturdy paths.
