Creux du Van

Creux du Van is a striking natural amphitheater located in the Jura Mountains of Switzerland. Formed over millions of years through erosion, it is a large, curved rocky cliff surrounded by lush forests and meadows. The cliff’s impressive vertical walls rise about 160 meters (roughly 525 feet) above the valley floor, creating a dramatic, bowl-like landscape. It serves as a habitat for various wildlife, especially ibexes, and is a popular spot for hiking, nature observation, and sightseeing. Its unique geological formation and scenic beauty make it a notable natural attraction in the region.
