Only good map-readers find the way to this small valley, about 250 m long: no marked trails lead here. The vale is concealed behind two lateral moraines of the Findel Glacier, which has retreated a long way. A mountain meadow with soft alpine grasses now covers the lower stretches. In the upper part of the valley, hemmed in by cliffs, wiry and thorny pioneer plants have taken hold. Here, time seems to have stood still for millennia.
