The Binn Valley is a true paradise for mineral collectors and enthusiasts. There is probably no other area in the Alps that boasts such diverse and globally unique deposits in such a small space as this Alpine valley, which has remained largely untouched by mass tourism. In addition, it features a particularly rich and lush flora that has thrived on the extremely varied rock formations.
