Nice place to visit (for free), with lots of information panels (in German, French and English) about how the whole valley was shaped by glaciers. They also have explanations for some rock shapes we can see in other places, like the Gorner Gorge. There are picnic tables, but when I visited in August we were not allowed to light a fire, because of the drought (high forest fire risk).

Extraordinary geological showcase for those admiring the sheer power of glacier movements and their melting consequences. The walk through this Glacier Garden while watching the valley opening is like stepping in a gigantic open air cathedral.

Sehr beeindruckend. Hier kann man die verschwundene Welt der Gletscher, deren Reste auf Felsen und im Gelände entdecken. Der Gornagletscher war der zweitgrößte der Alpen. Durch das abfließen des Gletscherwassers durch die Gletscherspalten, entstanden hier die sogenannten Gletschertöpfe. Das Schmelzwaser hatte eine enorme Geschwindigkeit und wusch so das Gestein aus. Eintritt frei. Ca. 30 Min zu Fuß ab Bergbahnstation Furi.
