Conservation Note
The valley relies on responsible tourism—stay on marked paths, avoid disturbing birdlife near the water, and carry out any trash to protect fragile alpine vegetation.
Olden developed around rivers and mills; the 1759 wooden church and nearby farms reflect a centuries-old pattern of subsistence agriculture tied to glacial waters.
