The Pyramids of Euseigne

a landscape shaped by time 

Also known as the "fairy chimneys" or "damsels with coiffed hair," the pyramids of Euseigne are one of the most fascinating geological phenomena in the Swiss Alps. These earth columns, topped with stone blocks and shaped by glacial erosion, seem straight out of a fairytale.

Today classified as a natural site of national importance, the pyramids are easily accessible from the road leading to the Val d'Hérens. However, they can now be discovered in a new way. Thanks to the construction of a new tunnel, the old cantonal road that passed under the pyramids has been turned into a pedestrian path. A unique way to admire them up close, on foot, in peace, without traffic.

Unusual, photogenic, and full of mystery, they are among the must-see spots in the Valais.
