Biking,
horseriding, walking trough vignards and hiking are only

This region
has kept all its precious assets, surviving the terrible
mudslide of 1749. The lake of Derborence owes its
existence to this natural catastrophe. Omnipresent
vegetation, virgin forests and animal wildlife are only
a few examples of what can be found in this protected
area, where human hands almost never interfear. |
