aolson couldn't find on 21st Aug 1999 We approached the site from the south aiming for 46.265, 7.42044, but those coordinates were located seemingly on the face of a cliff. Further research is needed before the second attempt. Perhaps the pictures are of a vertical face best accessed from the N/NW.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Position of site unknown, co-ordinates given for nearest village. Natural cliff face north of town with a multitude of carvings and cup holes.

As I well know the feeling of not finding a site, I searched a bit. http://www.ssdi.ch indicates these coordinates: 46.25618N 7.42943E. When I read their report,
Link to SSDI Object no 1956.01 report, I come to the conclusion that the stones are not accessible any more. But I never was there, so I cannot confirm this.
