It's as if Mother Nature had packed a huge pot of colour and poured it over the Engadin forests: the mountain slopes glow with such exuberant colour, the trees' festive garb smiles at us in glorious gold, red and yellow. And the sun is smiling with them, making every autumn excursion in the Engadin a dream tour.
Around mid-October, when the days get shorter, the larch needles change colour and shine in a vibrant gold. The time when the needles change colour also depends on factors such as temperature and dryness and varies from year to year. If you don't want to miss this natural phenomenon, consult our larch tracker and follow the needle discolouration in real time.<br

Autumn holidays in the Engadin are real mood boosters. After all, what could be lovelier than hiking or biking through our magnificent alpine nature and taking deep breaths of fresh mountain air scented by rich leaves and harvest? Our extensive network of hiking and biking trails – a.k.a. the Engadin “walk-in and drive-through” – lead across mountain sides, through valleys and historic village centres and along scenic lakes.
In other words: there is room and nature for everybody. And not only for bikers and hikers themselves but also for consideration and respect because Engadin trails are fair trails.
