Engadin Autumn Photography Weekend

\n

16–18 October 2026

\n

Photograph the Golden Autumn of the Swiss Alps

\n

Autumn is one of the most spectacular times to photograph the Engadin. Golden larch forests surround clear alpine lakes\, the first snow may begin to appear on the high peaks\, and the valleys of the Bernina Range are transformed by constantly changing light.

\n

D uring this three-day photography workshop\, we explore some of the most be autiful locations around St. Moritz\, from the Morteratsch Glacier and Val Roseg to the reflective waters of Lej da Staz and Silsersee.

\n

Our schedule is built around sunrise and sunset\, when the alpine landscape is at its most atmospheric. Early mornings offer the possibility of calm wat er\, reflections\, frost and mist\, while the final light of the day can i lluminate the mountains and golden forests.

\n

The workshop is suitab le for photographers of different experience levels. Throughout the weeken d\, we work on composition\, camera technique\, understanding alpine light and finding stronger and more personal ways to photograph the landscape.< /p>\n

The programme remains flexible. Autumn weather in the Alps can cha nge quickly\, and locations or timings may be adjusted according to cloud \, snow\, wind and light to make the most of the conditions.

\n

Day 1 — Friday

\n

Arrival in St. Moritz & amp\; Sunset at Morteratsch Glacier

After a short introdu ction and briefing\, we travel to the Morteratsch Valley for our first ses sion.

\n

We walk through the valley towards the Morteratsch Glacier\, surrounded by golden larch forests and the impressive peaks of the Bernin a Range. The combination of glacier\, mountains\, streams and autumn veget ation provides a wide variety of photographic possibilities\, from expansi ve alpine landscapes to more intimate compositions.

\n

We remain in t he valley for the final light of the day\, photographing the glacier and s urrounding peaks through sunset and blue hour.

\n

This first session also introduces some of the main themes we will explore throughout the wee kend: composition\, working with changing mountain light\, choosing focal lengths and learning how to simplify complex alpine landscapes.

\n

Af ter the photography session\, there will be an opportunity for a quick din ner in the Morteratsch area before returning to St. Moritz.

\n

We pla n to take the 19:40 train\, arriving at the St. Moritz Yo uth Hostel at approximately 20:45\, where we check in for our stay.

Our second day begins well before dawn.

\n

We leave the hostel on foot and walk approximately 40 minutes to Lej da Staz\, arriving in time to prepare our compositions before sunrise.

\n

Surrounded by forest and mountains\, this peaceful lake is particularly beautiful during autumn. In calm condi tions\, the water can reflect the golden larches and surrounding peaks\, w hile mist\, frost or low cloud can completely transform the atmosphere.

\n

We photograph from blue hour through sunrise\, working with reflecti ons\, foregrounds\, layers\, colour and smaller woodland details.

\n

After the morning session\, we return for breakfast and have time to rest \, review images and discuss the photographs from our first sessions.

\n

In the afternoon\, we travel to Val Roseg\, one of t he most beautiful alpine valleys of the Engadin.

Silsersee is surrounded by mountains and autumn fo rests and offers beautiful possibilities for photographing reflections\, l ayers\, golden larches and the changing morning light. Depending on the co nditions\, mist and low cloud can add an additional atmospheric element to the landscape.

We photograph the changing morning light\, explori ng both classic wide landscapes and quieter\, more intimate compositions.< /p>\n

After the morning session\, we return for breakfast and take a lon ger break during the middle of the day.
