This beautiful alpine walk will take you through a beautiful, uncrowded valley, along a path that is sometimes steep. Cliffs, torrents, waterfalls, and perhaps the chance to see a mountain goat.

A beautiful hike in a wild environment, with no technical difficulties despite 50% of the route being off-trail.
