Grotte aux Fées

The Grotte aux Fées extends half a kilometer through naturally formed limestone galleries, leading visitors to an underground lake with a waterfall.

The cave opened as Switzerland's first tourist cave, marking a milestone in the development of geological tourism within the Valais region.

Local traditions mention that visitors who dip their left hand in the cave's fountain may experience the fulfillment of their aspirations.

The cave maintains designated paths with proper lighting systems, requiring visitors to wear appropriate footwear for navigating uneven surfaces.

Scientific studies of the cave formations provide researchers with geological data about the development of Swiss Alpine underground structures.
