Zwischbergen

Zwischbergen occupies a steep mountain valley on Switzerland’s Italian border in Upper Valais. The municipality includes the hamlet of Gondo, beside the Diveria River on the historic Simplon route, while the side valley rises towards the Zwischbergen Pass and Italy’s Antrona Valley. Gondo’s 17th-century Stockalper tower recalls the trade connections associated with the Simplon crossing; gold was also mined here for centuries. This compact Alpine community of stone buildings, forests and high slopes has been shaped as much by cross-border routes as by its secluded setting.
