Intro

Thirty-three kilograms of gold were found one hundred years ago in Zwischbergental, a beautiful, pristine Valaisian valley. Equipped with boots, shovels, and pans, prospectors still find gold dust and nuggets.

The last gold washer of Gondo knows the whereabouts of the sandbanks with gold deposits and demonstrates how to wash the gold specks from a pan of gravel. Whoever finds glittering yellow specks at the bottom of the pan is sure to catch gold rush fever. The gold washing tour can be combined with a visit to the gold mine and the gold mine museum, rounding out a comprehensive gold experience.
