Description

The path leads from Riffelberg, where the tree line also passes, into the rocky landscape at the former edge of the Gorner Glacier. But first, enjoy the view of the Matterhorn. Then descend into the powerful world of glacial forces. At Glacier Garden Dossen, you can see what the glacier hides on its underside: smoothed rock slabs, glacial potholes, and whimsical rock formations.
