Very impressive. You should not be afraid of heights. It also wobbles when crossing, depending on how many people are currently walking on the bridge. The floor is made of wooden planks and is therefore also possible for dogs.

From the Iffigenalp, a hiking trail leads through the forest and then along paths blasted into the rock to the pass. Together with the many waterfalls and the plateau, I found this pass to be magnificent.

the bridge built in 2020 allows you to safely pass a tricky section of the old bisse.

The Bisse du Ro hiking trail offers breathtaking views thanks to the historic irrigation canal that winds its way up the mountainside near Crans-Montana.

Beautiful circular route. We walked with a dog. We started on the right side of the dam wall. This is the unpaved and uneven part. In the back section there is a waterfall and a suspension bridge. The second section is easier to walk, so we found that we started on the right side. However, the route is not possible with a stroller or bicycle, you have to start to the left of the dam wall and can walk approximately as far as the suspension bridge.

At the Rawil Pass you are at an altitude of 2,429 meters and on the border between the cantons of Bern and Valais. It is good that the plans from the 1980s to build a road and tunnel here were rejected by a popular initiative, because this means that the mountain idyll continues to prevail here instead of noise.
