Sendero
S8
From Staffal a climb to the Orestes Hütte, a belvedere refuge above the head of the Lys valley. The trail, on good ground among pastures and sparse larches, gains height with growing views of the Lys glaciers and the Walser valley floor of Gressoney. A panoramic half-day goal and a base for more ambitious hikes towards the head-of-valley passes.
Ciencias de la Tierra
Geología y paisaje
The bedrock is that of the Monte Rosa nappe — continental-crust gneisses and granites, greenstones of the Alpine ocean — carved and polished by the Lys glaciers, among recent moraines and roches moutonnées.
Historia y cultura
This is Walser country: the Alemannic settlers who crossed the Monte Rosa glaciers from Valais in the 13th century left Gressoney the Töitschu language, timber-and-stone stadel and the German names of the peaks.
