Experiencing the mountains

Whether you choose the steepest ascents or the easier paths, you’ll always be immersed in a truly beautiful natural and geological context. The only essential ingredient: pausing to observe. You’ll see spectacular forms of mountain ranges, shapes carved into the rock by glaciers, different colours of rock, from the dark, volcanic stone to the light limestone, that at sunrise and sunset are coloured with intense shades of red, creating the spectacle of the Alpenglow.
