Hiking for trained people, a difficult outing, especially for me, my last 82 years old.

It's a magnificent hike to wild and majestic lakes. The ascent and the descent offer magnificent views and the possibility of observing waterfalls, as well as the possibility of cooling off in the numerous torrents crossed. This hike is a must!
