A varied tour with geological highlights, such as Alkummer. This is a rocky gorge with high walls making you feel like you are in a stone room.

This track of 9 km offers nice views on the typical landscape of the lower Sûre valley.
Right after the start, you will stroll through small paths used daily by the inhabitants of the village. You will then enjoy great views on the valley of the Sûre.
The highlight is a 360 degree view at the highest point of the hike. Dolomite rocks, a dense beech forest and moss covered stones are other highlights of this tour.
Author’s recommendation
The geological highlight on the tour is the "Alkummer" rock formation.
