Rivers and forests
Below the peaks, the river runs through spruce and birch forest — cool and green even on the hottest days.

Summer meadows
June and July mean tall grass, wildflowers and wide green slopes.

Golden autumn
In September and October the slopes turn yellow, red and brown, and the trails go quiet.

Glaciers and peaks
Snowy summits over 4,500 metres — the view that makes it worth going beyond the waterfall.

Life on the jailoo
Yurts, herds and a generous table — the summer life of nomads that carries on to this day.
