You always hoped to see the edelweiss when you were a child during your mountain walks, but the excursions were often longer than your breath and most of the time you got tired before finding it. The great thing is that you always had the desire to go back and look for it even if it meant reaching the glacier. Just like the climber who dedicated a route to our wine: you can look for it on the maps of the Rhaetian side, the one of the Alps where the Sassella is carved .
