    On the way to the Rifugio Walter Bonatti you will pass the ruins of this alp in an impressive position opposite the hanging glaciers on the Grandes Jorasses. Just above the Bonatti Hut you will find in a similar location the ruins of Alpe Malatrà Desot.
    Ruins in the garden art are a means to increase the majesty of nature: here is the involuntary felt.
