The lower Alpe di Nana is a large clearing at the foot of the Rosa glacier.
The paths are lost in the woods and the wide dirt road leads to the Grand Tournalin refuge.
The lower Alpe di Nana is located right at Ru Cortod. This, however, is closed in the last stretch (dangerous tunnels) and therefore it is necessary to make a detour into the woods to reach Nana Inferiore.

Hiking

The lower Nannaz alpine pasture, nestled among green pastures at over 2,000 meters, is a haven of peace and authentic nature. Here time seems to slow down, between the murmur of the wind and the grazing of the cows, with Monte Rosa dominating the horizon. An ideal place for a regenerating break, perfect for those who love walking and breathing the pure mountain air.
