The Moosalpregion in autumn dress

Who doesn't love them, the pleasant autumn days with blue skies, sunshine and mild temperatures? Cool nights and warm, sunny days make the forests shine in vibrant colors like red, orange and yellow. An autumnal period of fine weather combined with the intense leaf coloration of deciduous and mixed forests is often referred to as "Indian Summer" in eastern North America - a phenomenon, however, that can also be observed in the Valais Alps. Experience your personal Indian Summer with us in the Moosalpregion.

Indian Summer in the Moosalpregion

The American Indian Summer stretches from the south of Canada down to the north of the USA in a very short time every autumn. Temperatures are mild, the weather is dry and pleasant. Forests, consisting of various species of birch and maple, turn brightly colored. In the Moss Valley region, it is especially the birch and larch trees that turn a bright yellow to gold. Our autumn is not quite as colorful compared to the American Indian Summer, but still beautiful to look at.

The term "Indian Summer", which has now also become established in Central Europe, is used to describe a particularly picturesque autumn. It could also be compared with the traditional Indian summer. It is assumed that it originates from Indian traditions. This is because autumn was the prime season for many Native American peoples to go hunting. The mild weather encouraged many animals to roam again and search for food shortly before winter. The foliage at this time shone in a red that was just as vibrant as the blood of the prey that was to be hunted down.

A feast for the senses

Autumn in the Moosalpregion is a true feast for the senses. The colorful forests radiate a deep tranquility that captivates every visitor. In the distance, the first signs of snow can already be seen on the mountain peaks, adding a special touch to the autumn magic. A hike to the Augstbordhorn is recommended. Here you can enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding area and the opportunity to enjoy the silence and majesty of the mountains. Walking along the Suon water conduit through the forest, you can listen to the sound of the water and the crackling of the leaves under your steps, a soothing concert for the ears.

The autumn season in Valais is a time to awaken the senses and enjoy nature in all its splendor. A walk through the colorful landscapes and forests is an experience not to be missed.
