Autumn in the mountains is one of those seasons that rewards a little preparation.
Cool mornings, warm afternoons, changing weather and quieter trails all belong to the experience. A few essentials can make the difference between a good day outside and a great one:
- Layers you can easily add or remove
- Good hiking shoes with reliable grip
- A light waterproof jacket
- Sunglasses and sun protection – even in October
- A small backpack with water and snacks as not many restaurants are open
- And, of course, a camera for the autumn colours and mountain views
Zermatt in autumn is quieter, slower and especially beautiful. The perfect time for long walks, crisp mountain air and a little more space to simply enjoy the surroundings.
And after a day outside, the Lodge is there for the warm-up: wellness, a comfortable room and a peaceful place right in the heart of Zermatt.
