Reply to comment by _Elon_Muskrat_ in Golden Autumn colors in Valais, Switzerland [OC] [1334x2000] IG: arpandas_photography_adventure by dasarpan007

Those are larch trees, they start turning their color in autumn before loosing their needles in winter. So yes, they are supposed to be that color at this time of year

Ok, good. Thanks. We have larch trees here too, but very sparse, and after the devastation of the pine beetle over here just wanted to know it hadn't somehow gotten over there.

Sad to hear that about your larches, hopefully they will eventually recover. Luckily here we haven't had any issues and I hope it stays that way. The golden larches are always something to look forward to as a hiker and photographer
