The best time to see Dolomites Golden Larches in 2026 is Late September to late October 2026. Timing status: Season.
The larch is Europe's only conifer that drops its needles, and in October whole slopes of them ignite gold against the pale Dolomite walls, best on Europe's largest high plateau at Alpe di Siusi. Mid-to-late October is the bet; many lifts close mid-month, which keeps it quiet.
