Descrição

Pfyn forest, which is located centrally in Valais, is a ten square kilometer nature reserve of national importance. The river Rhône, which for the most part flows freely, flows through the forest. Pfyn Forest forms the German-French language border and is well-known throughout Europe for its exceptional species diversity. The landscape, which is shaped by debris flows, forest fires, Rhône floods and land slides, and the warm and dry climate of Central Valais are responsible for the species diversity of Pfyn forest.

A nature educational trail leads visitors through the nature reserve. The nature park center with information booth, two exhibitions and a specialized library are located in the 300-year-old administrative center of the Knights of St. John in Salgesch.
