Muralis and vivipara live there together: I've photographed vivipara at one side of the path, and muralis at the opposite side.
I think Vipera walser could also live there, but I've seen only a small (female, I suppose) aspis. The weather was very bad: too hot the first day, and too cold and rainy the other two.
Unfortunately, the owner of the small guest house in this valley kills every "viper" seen or met: but the only picture I saw of those highly dangerous "vipers" was actually one of a beautiful Coronella austriaca found in a nearby valley...

Thanks Massimo!

Yes, pregnant with a fresh big rain drop on her back...

Thanks Mario, a very nice and appreciated comment!

I think Forums (plural) in general have difficult life today, not only because of Whatsapp and Facebook channels, but because also of Youtube: even I prefer the most of the times to watch a video (and you can find almost everything on youtube) than to read a herp report on a Forum...

And so, what can we do against this trend?
Very few: some infos, as you wrote, but not too many, because Forums are read by the whole world...
