| Valle d'Aosta, Italy |
| Thumel |
| 5 August 2018 |
| The last few days of our holiday we visited various valleys of the Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso. The road to Thumel ends fairly high up, and from the parking lot various tracks can be followed. Our track initially led trough a forested area, but soon enough the forest gave way to flowery meadows with lots of interesting plants and butterflies. |
