Hiking
Alpe Cretarzon is one of those mountain pastures abandoned for many years, likely because it was inaccessible by motorized vehicles, and today it is in a state of disrepair. The rustic stone buildings still retain their walls almost intact, while the roofs have collapsed and the window frames are missing. Despite this, the mountain pasture offers a truly extraordinary view: from here you can admire the unmistakable silhouettes of the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc, the latter of which is naturally further away.
