More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You begin on a narrow mountain road, the car turning away from the town and pushing upward into spruce-scented air. Windows frame a valley of alpine pastures and serrated ridgelines; the landscape itself seems to insist you pay attention. The guide pauses at viewpoints and the hills answer with the distant crash of streamwater and the hush of a forested slope.
