On the mountaintop, 7,217 feet above sea level, sits lovely Tracouet Lake, also called \u201cblack lake\u201d due to its deep, dark colours. From here, you have two options: walk up to Dent de Nendaz, where you have sweeping views of the Bernese Alps and the Rhone Valley, or walk down to Alp Balavaux, where you\u2019ll see some of the biggest and oldest larch trees in Europe; some are up to 800 years old. To catch their glowing golden needles, time your visit starting mid-October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><h2><strong>Gruy\u00e8res<\/strong><\/h2><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-10 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"506\" data-id=\"44042\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Gruye\u0300res-Suisse_ryan-klaus-mmAOmWHARno-unsplash-1024x506.jpg\" alt=\"Gruyeres\" class=\"wp-image-44042\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Gruye\u0300res-Suisse_ryan-klaus-mmAOmWHARno-unsplash-1024x506.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Gruye\u0300res-Suisse_ryan-klaus-mmAOmWHARno-unsplash-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Gruye\u0300res-Suisse_ryan-klaus-mmAOmWHARno-unsplash-768x379.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Gruye\u0300res-Suisse_ryan-klaus-mmAOmWHARno-unsplash-1536x758.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Gruye\u0300res-Suisse_ryan-klaus-mmAOmWHARno-unsplash-1568x774.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Gruye\u0300res-Suisse_ryan-klaus-mmAOmWHARno-unsplash.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>More than cheese: Gruyeres affords a sumptuous view.

Autumn visitors will swoon over the colourful leaves in the forests above the rolling hills surrounding Gruy\u00e8res. The town\u2019s hilltop perch offers mesmerising views of Swiss autumn foliage, along with the Pre-Alps peeking out from behind. To top it all off, Gruy\u00e8res\u2019 lovely main square, traditional buildings and 13th-century castles are all more than worth a visit. Plus, autumn\u2019s the perfect time to indulge in this delightful town\u2019s famed fondue.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><h2><strong>Lavaux Vineyards\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-11 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"668\" data-id=\"44048\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lavaux_shutterstock_1487370500-1024x668.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lavaux_shutterstock_1487370500-1024x668.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lavaux_shutterstock_1487370500-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lavaux_shutterstock_1487370500-768x501.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lavaux_shutterstock_1487370500-1536x1002.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lavaux_shutterstock_1487370500-1568x1023.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lavaux_shutterstock_1487370500.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Lavaux Vineyards boasts harvest season in the fall.

The biggest continuous regions of vines in Switzerland, the Lavaux Vineyards between Lausanne and Montreux run for 30 km along the northern shores of Lake L\u00e9man (Lake Geneva)\u2014and the vines blaze gold in the autumn. To see the colours at their finest, hike the Terrasses de Lavaux, an easy trail that runs from St. Saphorin to Lutry, cutting directly through the vineyards with some stops in charming villages along the way. Or, if you prefer a more leisurely excursion, try the adorable Lavaux Express train (running through late October, perfect for seeing the autumn colours), which follows a number of scenic routes right next to the grapevines. If you can, peel your eyes away from the scenery to sample some of the delightful local vintages, especially chasselas and pinot noir.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><h2><strong>The Three Lakes\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-12 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"44054\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lake-Biel_shutterstock_2142118369-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The Jura Crest Trail \" class=\"wp-image-44054\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lake-Biel_shutterstock_2142118369-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lake-Biel_shutterstock_2142118369-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lake-Biel_shutterstock_2142118369-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lake-Biel_shutterstock_2142118369-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lake-Biel_shutterstock_2142118369-1568x1046.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lake-Biel_shutterstock_2142118369.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The Jura Crest Trail runs nearly 200 miles.

But if you don\u2019t have that much time, you can still traverse small sections of this area in Switzerland\u2019s Jura region to see the red and orange colors of sycamore maple trees every fall. Try a circular hike from Vue des Alpes, where you can gaze out at the Chasseral mountain off in the distance. Or head off the trail a bit farther north to take a funicular up Le Chaumont, where you\u2019ll enjoy views of the Three Lakes (Lake Neuch\u00e2tel, Lake Biel and Lake Murten). Mid- to late October are usually the best times to see the fall colors in Switzerland at their most vibrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><h2><strong>Bern &amp; B\u00fctschelegg\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-13 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"44060\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/bern_andreas-fischinger-xosBoKRT0qE-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The Swiss capital, Bern\" class=\"wp-image-44060\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/bern_andreas-fischinger-xosBoKRT0qE-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/bern_andreas-fischinger-xosBoKRT0qE-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/bern_andreas-fischinger-xosBoKRT0qE-unsplash-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/bern_andreas-fischinger-xosBoKRT0qE-unsplash-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/bern_andreas-fischinger-xosBoKRT0qE-unsplash-1568x1046.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/bern_andreas-fischinger-xosBoKRT0qE-unsplash.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The Swiss capital, Bern, affords guests history and fall foliage aplenty.
