Description

Enter the Plan de Tuéda Nature Reserve. From the remarkable forest of cembros pines, to the mountain pastures, reach the Saut refuge.

From the very beginning of your adventure, you will be overwhelmed by the beauty of the place: imagine a lake at the bottom of the valley surrounded by a forest of cembro pines, with such a typical smell that some people use it as an essential oil.

Moreover, the discovery trail of the Nature Reserve will allow you to revise the typical flora of the high mountains. The luckiest ones will be able to marvel at the Linnea Borealis and its two small pinkish bells (protected species).
