It's not just in Gondo that you can find gold in Valais. In autumn, it's all around us! In its white form, it already covers certain summits to the delight of ski enthusiasts. In blue, it can be admired during an autumn walk along a bisse or on the banks of an Alpine lake. In orange, it adorns the needles of the larches and gives the high altitude forests their fiery hues. Yellow or red, it is the fruit of the labours of our winegrowers and fills drinks among friends at aperitif time. Whatever your favourite colour, we wish you a wonderful, golden autumn.

Did you think the hiking season was over? Not at all! In Valais, our Indian summer means you can extend the pleasure of hiking in the mountains.

Accessible to all, it is surrounded by golden larch trees contrasting with the bluish reflections of its lake and is sure to delight both young and old.
