Autumn Season at Courchevel

Autumn in Courchevel is a season of spectacular transformation, as the larch forests ignite in brilliant hues of gold and amber against the backdrop of snow-dusted peaks. This 'secret season' offers a unique opportunity to experience the Alps in a serene and reflective mood, with fewer crowds and cooler, crisp air ideal for hiking and photography. The trails, still accessible before the heavy snows, provide stunning vistas, often with dramatic contrasts of color. It's a prime time for mushroom foraging, traditional village festivals celebrating local produce, and savoring the quiet beauty of the changing landscape. Many businesses begin their preparations for the upcoming winter season, but a selection of hotels and restaurants remain open, offering a more intimate and authentic Savoyard experience. The sense of anticipation for the first snowfalls fills the air, making it a truly magical period for those who appreciate tranquility and natural beauty.
