The Shepherd’s Wake-up Call

After admiring the sunrise, you will walk through the silent pastures with a shepherd and a mountain guide who will explain the characteristics of the area and share many curiosities about livestock, plants and mountains. At the end of the walk, a delicious breakfast with authentic local products awaits you at Chalet Valbona (1820 m), giving you the right energy to return by cable car to the valley – just in time to watch the cows, goats, sheep, donkeys and horses return from the high pastures.
