AnnaT.....

What an extraordinary set of pics!!.....To English eyes these constructions are beyond strange! What does the ordinary Swiss person make of them?......Are they popular with the population?

........I then took a look at your flickr page......there are some VERY weird buildings in the Land of cowbells and chocolate!

........Or even in the Land of small arms and precision machine tools, come to that!

Thank you for your kind words and for your interest. I don't think that all the rest areas are so pompous and excessive. The two I photographed my well be unique samples. I suspect that the regional authorities participated in the financing (while usually the national roads are paid by the central government). When the highway was built (between 1988 and 1991 for this particular leg), there were at the same time great hopes (that the highway would bring more tourists) and great fears (that the people using the highway won't stop in Valais anymore). I think these extraordinary constructions reflect that. They wanted to show the region to the tourists : the toilets are located at the ground floor and when you go upstairs you get a good view of the region : the two castles of the city, the vineyards hanging from the slopes, the villages and their church towers and the mountains. I plan to visit a few other rest areas in order to confirm that impression, but the other ones I know are more modest.

Here are a few other views of the place :
