Spring
Follow the water
The valley turns green and the rivers fill with snowmelt. Choose forest walks and allow for wet paths; higher routes may still have winter conditions.
Summer
Start early, go slowly
Long days make room for mountain walks and relaxed evenings. Start early, carry water and watch for changes in the weather.
Autumn
Let the forest lead
Beech woodland brings colour to the slopes. Shorter daylight means earlier starts and a realistic plan for the return.
Winter
Find the warm welcome
Enjoy the town, local food and snowy mountain views. High routes require winter mountain experience and suitable equipment.
