    Tips

    Feldspar is still mined at the Pernighera feldspar mine on the other side of the gorge. The feldspar, which is mainly required for the production of porcelain, is transported over the gorge by cable car. The workers also cross the gorge with these cable cars.
    There is no way to get there.
