A circuitous route to the Fully Arch from la Méreune mine via L'Au d'Alesse and Scex Carro
With Aurèle Pulfer, mountain guide and architect
Going through a forest of arolla pines and larches dressed in their autumn colours, we pass through hundreds of millions of years of the Earth’s history in just a few hours.
We climb up to the Fully Arch, a spectacular dolomite archway formed in a tropical lagoon and sculpted by erosion.
This sunny trek offers you a journey across rocks and through Valaisan high-sloped scenery and history, with a spectacular view over the Rhone valley and the Alps.
