When to go

Summer snow on the Geierjoch

The likelihood of snow on the passes determines the short length of the Alpine walking season – from early July through to the third week in September. The huge network of Alpine huts only opens when the passes clear of snow and the walkers start to turn up.

Although it can vary significantly from year to year there is greater likelihood of lingering snow in July. Alpine thunderstorms are more frequent in July and August, and September is the most settled month. The peak season, coinciding with holidays, is August, so timing a trip to make the best use of September (the quietest month) makes sense. This would involve starting in Munich towards the end of August and finishing the alpine traverse by the third week in September. The only downside is that the alpine flowers will be past their best.
