The knowledge we have acquired over the years means that we can now understand the natural hazards in our mountains. However, while some of them can be predicted, their scale and consequences still seem just as uncontrollable. Although the bottom of the valley appears to be flat and fairly wide, the slopes on either side of the valley are ideal for avalanches and rockfalls. The effects of these avalanches can be seen for much of the summer, with snow still present at the foot of the cliffs. Keep your distance, as the ice caves they form could collapse at any moment.
In winter, a government order prohibits access to the site!
