Gravel track up to Bostan

Highlight • Climb

This is where the track opens up and you are rewarded with BIG alpine views back down the valley.

Tip by

4.34 km

A very cute little hut nestled in the mountains. You can stop here for food or even better the night! Heads up there is no power at the hut and it's also disconnected from waste disposal (you are quite remote) so just a couple of things to be ready for.
