Gorges du Trient at Vernayaz Valais, Switzerland
The Gorges du Trient is an impressive narrow gorge, a left side branch of the wide Rhone valley near Vernayaz. It is most easily reached on the road from nearby La Bâtiaz uphill to Salvan and Les Granges. To see the gorge itself, some more walking is required. Starting at Vernayaz, at the Nationalstraße 21, a trail was built along the vertical cliff face through the gorge. It has signs explaining the history and the geology of the area. The spring of the Trient torrent is the Trientgletscher (trient glacier) above the village Trient. Along its course between Finhaut and Vernayaz four sections of the gorge are developed with trails.
