The beauty, diversity and uniqueness of nature and natural landscapes brings the photographers out of practically every person, especially in today’s age where mobile phones serve more for shooting videos and pictures than for making calls.

If a photographer is hidden inside you, then where else to let it out and roam free than Switzerland. In just a day surrounded by its beautiful vistas and locales, one can turn into a pro shutterbug. It is a beautiful location in all seasons, almost each of the 365 days of the year.

The autumn or fall season, from September to the end of November, though, is a very special time of the year, when the country really plays to the gallery! It is a place that requires no-filters and no touchups because the vibrant, bold hues of orange, red, golden and yellow provide the perfect frame against a perfect backdrop — a view that both you and your camera can never say no to.

To give you a glimpse of just how this golden season of Autumn brings alive every nook and cranny of Switzerland, Swiss Tourism in India has listed a variety of shots:
