The leaves are turning countless shades of color, the sun is low and makes the colorful sea of leaves glow and the leaves on the ground rustle as you walk. The scorching heat is over and long hikes are rarely as beautiful as at this time of year. Autumn is simply wonderful.

1. autumn comes dressed in bright colors

They are probably the most beautiful gift of autumn: the bright colors! The leaves on the trees glow red, orange, yellow and green. “Golden Autumn” - it really deserves this name.

2. lonely summits: up to come down

At this time of year, the mountains offer plenty of space to “come down”, as the Dolomite peaks are often all to yourself.

3. fall weather: we love it!

Autumn weather has many surprises in store. It doesn't just bring inversion weather - it can be anything from bright sunshine and “lightning blue” skies to atmospheric fog and snow. That's pure variety! Who says autumn is boring?

4. an autumn full of traditions

In October, the “alpine vacation” for cattle, goats and sheep comes to an end for the time being. This is when the animals return to the valley for the traditional cattle drive. They ring in the autumnal season with bells, colorfully decorated with beautiful flower wreaths, the cattle drive is a real spectacle. Goasslschnolzer, alphorn players and the finest farmers' handicrafts accompany this festive tradition.

5. Fall time is cuddle time

Snuggle up in front of the stove with a hot cup of tea and listen to the crackling of the fire for the first time in the season, enjoy a warm soup and cuddle up with your loved ones: this is what autumn feels like! When it rains outside, we don't have to feel bad at all if we cozy up on the couch with a good book. Plus, we can finally wear our favorite wool sweaters again.

Dear fall, it's nice that you're here!
