Trilho

S3

From Staffal you climb the Alta Luce (Hochliecht, 3,185 m), a belvedere summit between the Lys valley and Valsesia, on a long but well-trodden high-altitude route. The ascent crosses pastures, scree and old Walser paths, with the view widening progressively over the Lys glaciers and the whole head of the valley. The summit, once a lookout and now an outstanding hiking goal, offers one of the most complete views of the southern side of Monte Rosa.

Ciências da Terra

Geologia e paisagem

Geologically this is the heart of the Monte Rosa nappe: gneisses and granites of European continental crust, wrapped in the greenstones (serpentinites and prasinites) of the ancient Alpine ocean, today shaped by the Lys glaciers.

História e cultura

The valley is home to the Walser, Alemannic settlers who came down from Valais in the 13th century over the glacier passes of Monte Rosa: in Gressoney the Töitschu language, the timber-and-stone houses (stadel) and the German place names that dot the mountain still survive.
