For many people, this is the best time of year for hiking: in autumn you can see the mountains crystal-clear, the air is pleasantly cool and the larch woods are golden yellow. Our experts tell you about the best places to go.

The view from Gravasalvas is terrific, and on the way there you pass Heidi's village, where once a Heidi film was made. If you don't want to hike all the way to Sils you can go down to Plaun da Lej and visit the Murtaröl Restaurant, where you can see the kitchen's big salt water pool and of course enjoy the seafood from it.
