    Hiking

    The hike that connects the Jean Barmasse Refuge to Lake Cignana is a route that combines nature, breathtaking views and Alpine tranquility. Along well-marked paths, you cross pastures, woods and panoramic points from which to admire the surrounding peaks, including Monte Rosa and the Matterhorn. This walk, suitable for medium-level hikers, offers the thrill of immersing yourself in an authentic and evocative environment, where every step brings you closer to postcard landscapes and moments of pure serenity at high altitude.
