May and June are excellent months without much rain or snowfall but some high alpine passes may still be closed.

July and August are the hottest months of the year, but they tend to be rainy and this can make walking messy and trails harder to find.

September and October are excellent months for trekking, but in high areas the nights are cold and early snow is always a possibility.
