What you’ll do

This itinerary visits the most beautiful places in the St Moritz area to see the golden larch trees. All of these places are accessible by public transport, but check the times carefully as some services are reduced in fall. Also many hotels and restaurants are already closed for the season by early October. So best to reserve a few weeks in advance to make sure you get a spot.

Arriving to St Moritz

If you are driving to St Moritz from the north, we suggest driving over the Albulapass so you can stop at Lai da Palpuogna on your way. In October, the light is best in the early morning.

Sunrise on Lake Staz

Tip: Even if you visited Lake Staz on another day, I highly recommend getting up for sunrise for some of the most beautiful scenes you can get this area.

After sunrise, you have plenty of time for a leisurely breakfast before heading out for another hike.
