The snow-white slopes of the glacier contrast with the bright green alpine meadows and dense forests, creating a stunning picture reminiscent of scenes from a fairy tale. Here every moment is filled with a feeling of grandeur and harmony, and the air, fresh and clean, fills the lungs with incredible energy.
