At the bottom of the Rhone Valley, while the river is still called Rotten here, a small pond reinforces the rural character of the place. This is the Baggilla, a pleasant place to rest after having faced the steep slopes of the surrounding mountains.

A super nice resting place after a hard climb. The small pond had dried up when we arrived. Too bad.
