A great hut, which we like to head for after a good half of our tour for a snack. Quaint, comfortable, water for our dog and delicious cold drinks with the best view of the Alps 🤩😍

All the more beautiful was the moment when you come …

Beautiful hike with an equally beautiful day. At the start, temperature -10°. The Garmin says: total ascent mt 667 km 11,300. To get to the beautiful view (worth it) from Zacchi you go up path 512, half an hour and 170 m of ascent.
