Hiking
After leaving your car in the parking lot at the end of the paved road, you quickly reach the small village of Thumel. The hamlet, composed of a few huts—some now abandoned—still retains the authentic charm of Alpine architecture. Thumel is a precious testimony to the mountain pastures of the past: during the summer, the mondzicou (cattle breeders, in the local dialect) would ascend here with their herds to reach the higher pastures of the Rhêmes Valley.
