That’s a gypsum area, with lots of sinkholes/dolines. Check the aerial imagery to get a better impression, looks wild.
(Edited, I originally wrote limestone, but that is not correct)
Dolines in gypsum. Gypsum is an evaporitic rock/mineral that dissolves more rapidly than calcite/limestone.
Geologically, on a slightly larger scale, a lot is going on (as in most of the Alps)! The Gypsum layer appears in black here: [https://data.geo.admin.ch/ch.swisstopo.geologie-geologischer_atlas_profile/profile/GA25_041_Plate_III.pdf](https://data.geo.admin.ch/ch.swisstopo.geologie-geologischer_atlas_profile/profile/GA25_041_Plate_III.pdf)
It’s a very unique landscape. I ran through it once without having known about it beforehand…would love to go back and explore more.
