Pyramides d'Euseigne, Natural earth pyramids in Val d'Hérens, Switzerland.
The earth pyramids consist of multiple stone-capped pillars reaching heights of 15 meters, formed from compressed glacial moraine deposits.
The geological formations emerged between 80,000 and 10,000 years ago when the Eringer glacier retreated, leaving substantial deposits of rocks and sediment.
The earth pyramids serve as geological monuments in the Valais region, demonstrating the natural processes that shaped the Alpine landscape.
A road tunnel passes directly through the formation, allowing visitors to observe these geological structures while traveling between Hérémence and Val d'Hérens.
Large boulders sitting atop each column protect the underlying soil from erosion, creating these distinct natural pillars in the Swiss landscape.
