Traveler reviews
Thomas Stalder
★★★★★3 months agoDas Spiegellabyrinth wurde 1896 für die Schweizerische Landesausstellung in Genf gebaut und befindet sich seit 1899 im Gletschergarten. Nachempfunden ist er dem märchenhaften Alhambra-Palast von Granada. Auf dem verwirrenden Weg durch das Spiegelgewirr begegnen Sie sich immer wieder selbst. Eine Reise ins «Egozän» – diesen kurzen Augenblick im Leben, in dem sich der Mensch als Mittelpunkt der Zeit begreift.

★★★★★8 months agoBig surprise. I was debating due to the cost, but the Glacial Garden was just the start. There is an excellent view from the old wooden tower, the cave is fascinating with light protections. There are short but useful explanations and also an audio guide for more information. The mirror maze is a spectacular Victorian walk back in time and the Swiss House is beautifully set out with his historical dioramas and history.
