The autumn leaves begin to change color from the 1,474-meter-high summit to the mid-slope and then to the foot of the mountain (921 meters above sea level), and when the leaves at the summit have finished changing color, the larch trees around the foot of the mountain change their appearance to a golden color and are at their best. Larch is a deciduous coniferous tree belonging to the family Pinaceae. The golden larch is as beautiful as a painting, and is truly a work of art.

Four beautiful seasons with great power

The charm of the Naeba Dora Gondola is not limited to the season of colored leaves! Every year around the end of April, the green season begins, and visitors can enjoy a walk in the fresh green air.

We look forward to seeing you all!

Why not take the Dragondola, which allows you to view the changing seasons from the top of the mountains, and go on your first autumn foliage viewing trip of the year? You can check the status of autumn foliage on our website, so be sure to check it before you go.
