Glattalp Karst Field

Glattalp Karst Field
Karst topography is a type of landscape shaped by the dissolution of a soluble layer rock washed out
over thousands of years, leaving caves underground and craters on the surface.
Glattalp and neighbouring Charretalp are among a few examples of karst landscapes in Switzerland.
