View of the Gorwetschgrat Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this location you will enjoy an excellent view of this beautiful, eroded valley, with layers of crumbly rock visible creating stunning colors. This valley is almost reminiscent of the distinct landscapes one might find somewhere like Iceland. Be sure to take a break here to let your brakes cool a bit before speeding back down the hillside.

Illgraben Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

It is notoriously one of the main geologically unstable regions of Switzerland. The Illgraben massif is made up of dolomite, limestone and quartzite. Several times a year, mudslides from the Illgraben make the Rhône murky until it reaches Lake Geneva, located 90 kilometers downstream.
