LANDSCAPE
Worthy of note is the moraine made of slate slabs that close a lake with pristine and shallow waters. The lake is surrounded by a glacial cirque of slate and quartzite, which feeds a pond downstream.
There are waterfalls in vertical walls, torrents coming from snowcaps, great variety of flora and wildlife and U valleys, surrounded by mountains. All of them are some of the enchantments of this region.
