Hiking to the cipolin marble quarry in Saillon
An old marble quarry at an altitude of 1000 meters is located above the town of Saillon in the Rhone valley in Valais (Wallis). Hiking towards this marble quarry goes via a path through vineyards and a forest. The marble quarry was in use from 1832 until its cessation in 1975 and produced the famous (and expensive) cipolin marble used in for example the paris opera building.
