Cioss Prato Crystal Cave

Highlight • Cave

During the opening hours of the Cioss Prato restaurant, you can visit the underground mineral grotto and marvel at the huge crystals from the Gotthard region: rare smoky quartz, iron roses and typical radiant quartz from the Bedretto valley have been embedded in a magical world with great attention to detail.

Nufenen Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Nufenen Pass is at an altitude of 2,480 meters, making it the highest Alpine pass in Switzerland. Among cyclists it is considered one of the toughest. The restaurant is particularly interesting for hikers, where they can have a bite to eat and the brilliant view of the Griesgletscher.
