September 6, 2023,🇮🇹Aosta´23: "Im Reich der Steinböcke: Wanderung im Naturpark Gran Paradiso nach Pascieux u. Gran Lauson"

The route offers breathtaking views of the Alpine region and, with a bit of luck, the opportunity to observe ibex, chamois and golden eagles/bearded vultures in their natural habitat.
