99 water buffalo in the Blenio Valley in Ticino

René Ruis

A very special kind of alpine ascent. 99 water buffalo brave the steep ascent to Alp Stabil. They must overcome an elevation gain of almost 700 meters. There is neither a road nor a cable car to the alpine pastures. Water is essential for managing an alpine pasture with water buffalo.
