History
The pyramids took shape after the last glaciation, as the glaciers of the Hérens and Hérémence valleys retreated in successive phases. Erosion cut them out of a former central moraine, and a stone on each top protects its column from rain.
- Würm glaciationThe Hérens glacier leaves a central moraine. The pyramids later erode out of it.
- 10 000 to 80 000 years agoAfter the last glaciation the glaciers retreat, and the pyramids take shape over millennia.
- 1947A short, narrow road tunnel is cut under the pyramid formations.
