Wide undulating pastures that rise imperceptibly and lead to the crests that lie opposite Mont Rosa, over the hills that made history in the Middle Ages, the Walser migrations, trade and European culture. Wide undulating pastures that hide incredible environmental variety, from the flat, humid “goille”, covered in white thistles to the verdant shelf of the high-altitude pasture, where you hear the lowing of cattle and the tinkle of their bells, and the front-facing barrier of an ancient glacier. And then, your return to relaxation and the cheerful hum of a town with no traffic.
Description of the route
From the square in the municipal capital, follow the dirt track that goes up to the hamlet of Crépin and continue towards Alpe Foresus (itinerary 4). A few dozen metres before this pasture, at the crossroad with the road from Alpe Charavellessaz, take route 4 which goes right, then left, and cross a wide plateau heading towards Alpe Cleyva Bella. From here, continue up until you come to a crossroad with Alta Via 1. Take the right branch and go up a small valley at the top of which you find Col de Nana.
