The Rhêmes Valley
Head of Rhêmes Valley
The upper valley opens up to a scenario of moraines and glaciers that run down along the Granta Parei and the other peaks in the district: the white of the seracs of the lavassey, Fond and Tsantelèina glaciers contrasts with the green of the vast spruce and larch forests underneath. You don't have to be a mountain climber to climb the paths that go along the glaciers.
On the right of the mid Val di Rhêmes, there are two ravines, covered in splendid conifer forests at the bottom and green meadows higher up. The area is particularly interesting for its fauna, from the marmots, always alert for any possibile danger, and the ibex and chamois grazing on the high pastures to the many types of birds that inhabit the forests of the valley floor.
