«Foliage Train®», 12.10. – 17.11.2024, Locarno
The best way to experience the beautiful foliage of autumn is on the Centovalli Express. The Centovallina - as the train is also known - runs between Locarno and Domodossala during the colorful season, past the most colorful forests and to the most charming places scattered throughout the valley. Thanks to the Mediterranean climate in Ticino, the fall is particularly long and can be admired until mid-November. Guests should stop off in between to discover the unique little villages with their typical stone buildings and dine in a grotto. In view of the expected large crowds, seat reservations are absolutely essential.

Natural phenomenon larch forests, from mid-October 2024, Engadine
The shorter the days and lower the temperatures, the more colorful the forests become in autumn. A special highlight awaits us in the Engadine. There, the larches present themselves in a golden glowing autumn dress. The natural phenomenon reaches its greatest color intensity around mid-October. The larch is the only native conifer that loses its needles in autumn. Golden larch forests can be found everywhere in the Engadine. Forester Ralf Fluor tells us his favorite place: along the Albula Pass between Bergün and La Punt. By the way: in October, Fleurop's cooperation partner Eurobus offers a one-day bus trip to the larch forests in the Engadine.

This course deals with the subject and shows that there are other measures besides homeopathy to improve the soil and keep it healthy. Furthermore, you will learn how plants can get through the spring fit after the winter by a homeopathic basic strengthening.

Speaker: Cornelia Maute, alternative practitioner & author

Costs: CHF 30.-

Course location and time: online in German, 19.00-21.00 hrs
