this excursion offers beautiful views on Piz Palü. Furthermore, while descending it is possible to see the Palü hydroelectric power plant and lake. The path then continues its descent along the Asciai da Palü gorge until it reaches the Cavaglia hydroelectric power plant.

Glacier retreat: since 1850 the Palü glacier has lost about 80% of its volume due to a 0.5°C increase of Earth’s average temperature. Generalized temperature increases, at least partially due to higher CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, greatly accelerate the retreat of glaciers.
