Spring Hiking in the Alps: Hiking in May
One of the most beautiful month for hiking in the Italian mountains!
Hiking in May in the Alps is not only possible. It is one of my favourite season.
The snow up in the mountains makes the landscapes great and the forest start to be really green in this month. The flower start to be colorreful and the beauty of Nature is again back to us.
Depending on the snow that have been fallen in winter we might use snowshoes or we can opt for a normal hiking.
Usually we tent to not use snowshoes and enjoy the mid range mountain environment that in thi speriod are just incredible!
Waterfalls are at its best and may hiking in May in the Alps is one of the best period to see wildlife at lower altitude. Ibex as chamois think the same as us and after a long winter, enjoy some warmer temperatures and fresh grass at lower altitude.
