What to expect

The Giardino dei Ghiacciai di Cavaglia, also known as the Cavaglia Glacier Garden, is a natural wonder located in the Grisons region of Switzerland. This unique formation was created by the Palü Glacier and features giant holes, known as 'Giants' Pots', that were ground into the bedrock by pressurized glacial water. Visitors can explore the garden via a well-marked path and admire the bizarre shapes created by erosion. A trail leads through the Cavaglia Gorge, where visitors can see hollows formed by water whirlpools, glacial mills, and huge rock overhangs. The garden is suitable for children of all ages, and younger guests can enjoy a stamp trail and learn the secret of Grummo, the friendly giant
