Brig-Glis Essentials

Brig-Glis serves as a historic gateway to the Simplon Pass, anchored by the 17th-century Stockalper Palace and its distinctive granite-topped towers. The town preserves its military past at Festung Naters, a former artillery fortress carved into the rock that now houses the Swiss Guard Museum. Beyond the Baroque architecture, the area provides access to the Brigerbad thermal complex and high-altitude viewpoints like Kreuz and Wyssi Flue, which offer panoramas of the Rhone Valley and the Bernese Alps.
