Autumn Mood
10 Reasons Why We Love Autumn
It is here: Autumn has arrived in the Seefeld region. It is time to say "goodbye" to summer and prepare for the new, colorful season. Autumn has many great aspects, and there are numerous reasons why one simply must love autumn!
1. Autumn arrives in a colorful dress.
They are probably the most beautiful gift of autumn: the colorful leaves! Red, orange, yellow, and green shine brightly on the trees. The larch forests are especially beautiful when they shine in magical colors – a feast for the eyes! "The golden autumn" – it truly deserves this name. So it's time to go outside and watch the leaves cascade from the trees and rustle underfoot. Enjoy the new season with all your senses!
Our insider tip: In autumn, you should definitely visit the Maple Basin. It is a magnificent sight when the maple trees change color and shine.

2. Autumn is sporty: hiking, e-biking, climbing.
Summer may be over – but that doesn’t mean the hiking season is! Autumn is wonderfully hikeable. The reasons for this are not just the colorful views, but also the weather: While summer often brings thunderstorms, autumn is more stable. Moreover, inversion weather patterns frequently occur in autumn: It can be warmer at the top of the mountain than down in the valley. So: Let’s head up into the mountains! The E-Bike shouldn’t be banished to the cellar just yet. And climbers love autumn just as much: On south-facing walls, you can still enjoy climbing in the warming sun late into the season.
3. Autumn Weather: We Love It!
Autumn weather holds many surprises. Not only does the inversion weather situation bring it – everything can be included, from radiant sunshine and "lightning blue" skies to atmospheric fog and snow. That's pure variety! Let someone say that autumn is dull. And do you know that feeling when the air becomes clear and cool again? It is wonderfully refreshing – and brings us lovely rosy cheeks. On top of that, the autumn air also provides clear, wide views.
The first snow!
A reason to rejoice: Autumn is the harbinger of winter and brings with it the first snow. It is a special moment every year when the peaks shine in their white dresses for the first time. Here in the Olympiaregion Seefeld, we were able to experience this already in August – and surely it will happen again soon! We are already looking forward to building the first snowman!
5. Time to get the skis and sleds ready!
With the first snow, the excitement among all winter sports enthusiasts rises immensely: The prospect of the white gold makes us nervous. We're not putting away our hiking boots just yet – but we are getting our skis ready. We are in the starting blocks when the trails and slopes open up!

6. Mother Nature has many autumn gifts ready
In autumn, nature brings forth many delicacies. Finally, it's time to go into the woods and gather: mushrooms are the first signs of autumn, then there are cranberries and of course chestnuts, walnuts, and more! Additionally, it's apple and pumpkin season – Hmmm! Autumn simply tastes so good!
7. Autumn time is crafting time
You can create really cool things with children from the collected finds: chestnut characters, hollowed-out pumpkin heads, figures made of moss, small boats from walnut shells – let your creativity run wild! There are no limits to creativity here. Beautiful wreaths made of corn and leaves also decorate the home. Autumn is perfect for flying kites – it’s even more fun with a self-made kite! Oh yes: You can also traditionally craft creative lanterns for St. Martin.

8. The perfect season for sauna and wellness
When the temperatures outside start to drop again, it's time for us: Off to the hot sauna! This not only benefits the soul but also the body: regular sauna visits strengthen the immune system, preparing you for winter. Those who go to the sauna regularly are less likely to catch the flu and colds. So, especially in autumn, we should sweat in the sauna often!
9. Time for romantic walks through the rustling leaves
The trees are shedding their colorful foliage, providing us with dreamy walks through the rustling, colorful leaves. Let the soothing autumn sun warm your face and recharge with a big dose of beneficial vitamins. The children are also thrilled about the fun piles of leaves and happily jump from pile to pile, cheering joyfully.

10. Autumn time is cuddle time
Snuggling up with a hot tea in front of the fireplace and listening for the first time this season to the crackling of the fire, enjoying a warm soup, and cuddling with loved ones: This is what autumn feels like! When it rains outside, we don’t have to feel bad about getting cozy with a good book on the couch. Plus, we can finally wear our favorite wool sweaters and flannel shirts again. Dear autumn, it’s nice to have you here!
