Mindat lists 36 species from the site, many of them rather uncommon. It is fair to say the best known specimens from the site are the Titanite crystals from the site.
In mineralogical terms the site is probably most of interest to micromineral collectors, featuring some excellent micro specimens collected here over the years.
For everyone else, its probably a fantastic place to go skiing.
