Autumn Season at Realp

As autumn arrives, Realp dons a spectacular palette of golden, russet, and deep red hues. The larch forests and deciduous trees surrounding the valley floor transform, creating a visually stunning backdrop for hiking and photography. The air becomes crisp and clear, offering excellent visibility of the distant peaks. This season is characterized by a profound sense of tranquility, as the summer tourist rush subsides, and the landscape prepares for winter. It's an ideal time for contemplative walks, mushroom foraging, and savoring the last warm days before the snow falls. Local traditions might include harvest festivals or special culinary events, celebrating the bounty of the mountain environment. The historic steam train usually ceases operation by mid-autumn, adding to the serene, quiet atmosphere.
