Zêzere River Glacier Valley
In the winter, the snow covers the mountains in white and the valleys come alive with clean, melting ice water. In the spring, the colour and aroma of the sprouting plants fill the slopes. The summer is for swimming in the fresh, crystalline waters of the rivers and lagoons. In the autumn, the golden colours give another tone to the overwhelming scenery.
