Autumn Season at Santa Maddalena, Val di Funes

Autumn in Santa Maddalena is a spectacle of color. The larch forests turn into a dazzling palette of golden yellow, fiery orange, and deep red, creating a stunning contrast against the grey rock faces of the Dolomites. This season is perfect for long, quiet hikes amidst the vibrant foliage, often under clear, crisp skies. It's also the time for 'Törggele,' a cherished South Tyrolean tradition where visitors gather in rustic farm taverns to enjoy roasted chestnuts, new wine, and hearty local specialties. The crowds thin out, offering a more intimate connection with the landscape and local culture. Photography enthusiasts will find endless opportunities to capture the dramatic autumn scenery, while food lovers can savor the rich flavors of the harvest season.
