Autumn: a quieter pace, as nature takes centre stage.

If you’ve never experienced the mountains in autumn, prepare to be amazed by their beauty, silence and grandeur.

From scenic walks and local heritage to nature, simple pleasures and luminous landscapes, autumn offers plenty of opportunities to discover the mountains’ hidden treasures at your own pace. With fewer visitors around, it’s also a chance to enjoy a change of scenery without stretching your budget.

Capturing the atmosphere

The tall grasses turn golden, their stems swaying gently in the cool mountain breeze.

The trees gradually take on their autumn colours. The sun’s rays grow softer, and the lower light illuminates the golden leaves, creating striking contrasts with the surrounding landscape.

Dark tree trunks, rugged rocks and deep shadows stand out against the bright mountain peaks, dusted with the first snow of the season. Meanwhile, ever-changing white clouds drift across the skyline, constantly reshaping the Alpine panorama. It’s a view you could never tire of admiring.

Autumn has plenty of surprises in store for those willing to seek them out

Discover blueberry bushes turning fiery red, watch the Fare waterfall swell once more, and admire high-altitude lakes reflecting the first snow on the mountain peaks. Take the time to look around, and you’ll find yourself marvelling again and again at nature’s great spectacle, as the wildlife and plants of our mountains quietly prepare for winter.

The mountains and nature are beautiful in all their forms, all year round. Come and discover them for yourself, or see them in a new light!
