Walking

You can explore the environment around you on our interpretation trails, where you’ll find a variety of signposts. Reading tables all along the way will reveal the secrets of the local fauna, the geological contours of the site, the history of pastoralism and the workings of artificial snow production.

Learning will be your real ally in understanding every step you take on this voyage of discovery.
