The rock ridge of the Castelgrande consists of gneiss and rises almost 40 meters above the old town. On the north side, almost vertically sloping rock walls offer protection, on the south side, slightly less steep steps make access more difficult. At the top is a plateau divided into terraces with a diameter of 150 to 200 meters. The late medieval Bering rests for the most part on the Roman fort wall. The interior of the extensive castle area is largely empty, which is due to the removal of numerous buildings in the 15th century and the demolition of modern armory structures in the 20th century. In the Middle Ages, the area was divided into plots and densely built over.

An impressive castle open to the public. A beautiful grotto (bistro) on the edge of the castle invites you to linger. The passageway that runs under the wall into the valley is also interesting. Entrance fee for the museum and tower: 5 francs

If you don't want to use the stairs, there are two lifts available here.
