SPRING

Short routes and at lower altitudes, ideal for appreciating the rebirth of the season without encountering snow-related difficulties.

Spring is a wonderful season to explore the mountains, with nature awakening after the long winter and the meadows colored with flowers. In this section you will find shorter hiking tours at lower altitudes.

These hikes are usually exposed to the south, with lower chance of finding snow on your trail. However, it is always important to inquire about trail conditions before setting off, as some northern slopes may retain snow for longer periods. To check the status of the route, it is a good idea to consult the webcams available in the area and take the weather conditions into account.
