All shades of green and blue, literally hundreds of glacier lakes, immensely rich flower meadows and wildlife surprise those who imagine the country to be nothing but barren steppes. The honey from the upper grasslands and forests is enough to climb any mountain. Ideal for those who enjoy intensive trekking.
