Full description

Views were spectacular as was the train ride. It was such a relaxed way to travel and see the beautiful sights. The cable car ride provided a smooth trip to the refuge and once we finished our lovely breakfast there were many trails to walk ( summer season) others were also enjoying the refuge but it was not crowded. Other stops on the journey are also well worth the walk and look to take I the incredible views
