Hiking with the seasons
Are you wondering when is the best season for hiking? Each season has its unique charm. Spring, for example, is ideal for long walks, especially at lower altitudes where the temperatures are pleasant. The contrasting white peaks are a feast for the eyes. We recommend that you choose routes where you can walk in the sun, as it can still be quite chilly in the shade.
Mountain hikes are only recommended for experienced hikers. Whatever level of difficulty you choose, good planning, the proper equipment and the right footwear are essential to guarantee a safe, enjoyable time out in our beautiful nature.
