When the larch forests turn golden, the air becomes crystal clear, and the snow-capped mountains glisten in the warm autumn light, one of the most beautiful seasons begins in the Brig-Simplon region.
Whether it’s autumn hiking through Switzerland’s oldest larch forest in the Hittuwald, a leisurely stroll on the Wasenalp, sunny bike tours between Simplon, Rothwald, Rosswald, and Brig, or at atmospheric events —fall invites you to explore, get active, and enjoy yourself.
By the way: The Rosswald Bahnen run daily at regular intervals until November 1, 2026—see the schedule —making it ideal for enjoying the view from the sun terrace into the Rhone Valley. Good to know: The Rosswald is part of the MagicPass.
