When to go

The persistence of winter snow and the likely arrival of new snow in the autumn determine the relatively short length of the walking season in the Alps – from early July through to the third week in September. The huts only open when the snow disappears and walkers start to turn up.

Although it varies from year to year, lingering snow in July is possible. Alpine thunderstorms are more frequent in July and August, whereas September is the most settled month. The peak season, coinciding with holidays, is August, so if you’re not tied to the holiday season, timing a trip to make the best use of September makes a lot of sense. The only downside is that the alpine flowers will be past their best.
