    The Binntal landscape park is a nature and hiking paradise that is largely unknown in Switzerland. Fanny Smith, the personable Swiss ski cross world champion and Olympic icon, headed off on a mountain hike to explore this natural dreamland. The hike leads past Maniboden, a site that is considered to be a place of power, before heading to one of Switzer­land’s most amazing mountain lakes, the Mässersee, not far from the Italian border. On the return home, it takes a brief break at the Längenbach mineral mine, a reminder that the Binntal region is one of the world’s leading sources of rare minerals. This fascinating hiking adventure will reveal to you just what glit­tering crystals and precious Olympic metal have in common.
