The Chluse Gorge forms the spectacular entrance to the Gastern Valley and impressively demonstrates how the Kander River has carved its way through the massive rock over millennia. The gorge is narrow, steep, and characterized by towering rock faces over which the water roars into the depths – a true powerhouse of alpine geology. What's particularly fascinating is that the old road and hiking trail lead directly through this natural bottleneck. You can practically feel how isolated the valley once was and why the "Chluse" was considered a strategically important, yet dangerous, section. Today, it's easily accessible and an impressive start to any tour into the Gastern Valley – wild, rugged, and absolutely photogenic. 💧🪨📸✨

The old stone arch bridge in the Gastern Valley is an impressive example of traditional Alpine architecture. Built from local stone, it served for many decades as a vital link between the alpine pastures and the small settlements in the valley. Despite its age, it still withstands the powerful current of the Kander River, which emerges from the gorge here with particular force. Located directly above a narrow passage, the bridge offers a fantastic view of the milky-turquoise glacial water and the surrounding rock faces. The spot is easily accessible yet pleasantly quiet – ideal for anyone interested in historical buildings, geology, or simply breathtaking moments in nature. 💧🏔️📸✨

Rather deep, possible with large backpacks but a bit cumbersome.

The drive to the official parking lot in Holzachsegga is an adventure in itself. The road is so narrow on the steep slope that even an oncoming bicycle wouldn't be able to pass. If there's oncoming traffic, you have to reverse for long stretches. From the parking lot, it's only a few minutes' walk to the gorge, which is truly breathtaking. Those with a bit more time can skip the parking lot and climb from the valley floor.

Down below you can build dams and even swim 🏊

Just wooowww... you have to see it 😎
