The first signs of winter are appearing across the Northern Alps.
Fresh snow has begun to cover the higher peaks, while the valley below is still holding onto the colours of autumn. Golden leaves, deep green forests and snow dusted mountains make for a pretty special time of year in Hakuba.
The seasons are changing, and the transition is becoming impossible to miss.
Before long, those white mountain peaks will become the backdrop to another winter season, bringing skiers and snowboarders back to the valley.
For now, there’s still a little autumn left to enjoy.
But winter is getting closer.
See you on the slopes soon.
