THE HIKING CLUB TEAM
At the beginning of each season, The Hiking Club team heads to the Alps to share the first comprehensive trail-condition reports. We report on remaining snow, seasonal infrastructure, route changes and the gear early-season hikers may need.

Our Trail Ambassadors share regular trip reports, photos and practical observations from across our supported trails—giving the community a first-hand view of snow, route conditions and the experience on the ground.

Early-season conditions can vary significantly by elevation, aspect and region. The Hiking Club platform provides estimated current snow depth and a 48-hour snow forecast along your route, updated daily using data from ExoLabs. Use this information to make more informed decisions about route choice, gear, or whether to use transport to avoid challenging
