Spring and Autumn
Spring and Autumn are also delightful seasons for taking
a quiet, relaxing holiday or short break in the Haute Savoie, with
pastures of early-Spring crocus and cowslips followed by an abundance of
alpine meadow flowers and grasses. Autumn brings copper-coloured
forests with mists lingering over the valleys in the early morning.
