Ambiance
These ridge paths were once vital traffic arteries between the valleys. Some houses in ruins still stand along the tracks. They used to be taverns, cafes or just refuges for travellers passing through or else shepherds migrating up to summer pastures with their sheep. These were meeting-points where news was exchanged and connections between the mountains’ inhabitants forged.
