Spring and autumn generally offer more comfortable walking conditions. Choose the season for the specific route, then check the forecast and access rules.

The essential point
In spring, allow for rain and slippery limestone. Higher or shaded sections may feel colder than the village at the start.
In summer, an early start does not override a closure or make an exposed route suitable in extreme heat. Check official access information for the day.
In autumn and winter, plan around shorter daylight, wind and wet ground. Set a turnaround time and keep a shorter option.
