At the headwaters of the Lys River

Da Staffal partiremo seguendo la sinistra idrografica del Torrente Lys, il corso d’acqua che dà il nome all’intera valle, fino a raggiungerne le sorgenti: saremo proprio ai piedi del Monte Rosa! Attraverseremo boschi di larici, praterie alpine e morene in formazione, osservando l’ambiente montano in tutte le sue sfumature. Lungo il percorso seguiremo anche un interessante itinerario geo-cronologico che racconta l’evoluzione del paesaggio, dal ghiacciaio fino al fondovalle
