La Toussuire in autumn 

when the mountains are ablaze with colour

Enjoying La Toussuire in autumn

Autumn transforms La Toussuire into a veritable life-size painting. With forests ablaze with golden hues, paths carpeted in leaves, the last rays of sunshine and mountain peaks preparing for winter, come and enjoy a quieter, more authentic mountain experience.

A moment to live life to the full

Temperatures are gradually dropping, the days are getting shorter and the mountains are taking on a new look. The flora bursts into colour one last time before settling down for the winter, adorning the landscape with shades of gold, orange and crimson. Take in the view from above and admire this colourful spectacle, where the peaks are silhouetted against a soft, warm light.

In the mountain pastures, the herds are gradually making their way back down to the valley, leaving behind the vast high-altitude expanses that are preparing to welcome the first snows. The mountains slow down, regain their tranquillity and invite you to make the most of the last of the fine days.

Grab your basket and let yourself be guided along the paths carpeted with leaves. Breathe in the scents of firs, larches and the still-damp undergrowth. As you round a bend in the path, keep your eyes peeled: you might come across a few mushrooms or find some lovely chestnuts to gather.

Autumn is a season when we take the time to look, breathe and savour. A season for walking, exploring, feasting and simply enjoying the mountains before they don their white coat.

The mountains are slowing down… why not take the time to slow down with them?

The mountains are ablaze with colour It’s up to you to discover them

In autumn, La Toussuire offers a whole new experience. The landscapes take on golden hues, the paths are carpeted with leaves and the light becomes softer. It’s the perfect season to enjoy the mountains in a different way, with a mix of sporting activities, moments of relaxation, culinary discoveries and time spent with loved ones.

Hiking On the trails, autumn puts on a show

In autumn, the footpaths around La Toussuire take on new colours. Set off on foot through the countryside, which is gradually turning shades of yellow, orange and red, with the mountain peaks as a backdrop.

A lovely season for walking, enjoying the soft light and discovering the mountains in a whole new light.

Mountain bikes – Electric mountain bikes Cycling through a sea of colours

These last few days of fine weather are the perfect excuse to hop on your mountain bike and make the most of the mountain trails while you still can. Set amongst golden meadows, colourful woodland and sweeping views, these routes offer the ideal playground for extending your outdoor adventures before winter sets in.

Paragliding The mountain seen from above

Take to the skies and discover the autumnal landscapes from above. Seen from the air, the colours of the mountains create a veritable masterpiece: forests ablaze with colour, golden mountain pastures and peaks silhouetted against the horizon. An aerial experience to admire La Toussuire at its very best.

Dog-led hiking A cosy stroll in the great outdoors

Autumn is the perfect time for walks with your dog. On the trails around La Toussuire, share a special moment with your four-legged friend and enjoy the flamboyant colours of the landscape together. It’s a lovely, relaxed way to explore the mountains.

Farm tour The secrets of a mountain terroir

Autumn is also a time of transition for farmers and their flocks. At the Bergerie de l’Étoile, meet Axelle, a sheep farmer, and find out about her daily life, her work and her expertise.

The visit concludes with a tasting of products sourced exclusively from the farm, including terrines and sheep’s-milk cheeses.

Yoga A break to reconnect

When the mountains slow down, it’s the perfect time to slow down yourself. Yoga offers a peaceful respite to look after your body, work on your breathing and refocus. It’s a way to make the most of the peaceful atmosphere in La Toussuire in autumn.
