Mineral Trail

The Binn Valley is one of the world's ten largest mineral deposits, known since the 18th century. Located next to the deposit Lengenbach, Switzerland's only rock crystal mine is worth a visit. A didcatic trail focusing on the region's geology is a good introduction. The area's tourist board is preparing a public rock collection spot but even visitors today should not forget to bring a hammer, a chisel and a box to carry home one's finds. Do not expect to get rich - it is nonetheless an enriching experience.
Binn Valley Tourism offers mineral excursions.

How to get there:
Drive or take public transportation from Brig to to Binn via Fiesch.
