Waterfall Water Refill Point

Highlight • Waterfall

If the water runs out: Here you can access relatively harmless. On such tours I like to take a small water filter with me (as an attachment for the drinking bottle), then I am on the safe side.

The Nufenen Pass is at an altitude of 2,480 meters, making it the highest Alpine pass in Switzerland. Among cyclists it is considered one of the toughest. The restaurant is particularly interesting for hikers, where they can have a bite to eat and the brilliant view of the Griesgletscher.

Nufenen Pass from Ulrichen

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

The Novena pass, at an altitude of 2,478 metres, connects Valais with Ticino. In particular, it is the highest pass in Italian Switzerland, as well as the second highest in all of Switzerland, as it is only surpassed by the 2,503 meters of Umbrail.
At the Novena pass there are the sources of the Ticino river.

Bedretto Valley

Highlight • Gorge

The Ticino flows through the Val Bedretto and is fed by numerous mountain streams on its way through the valley. The picturesque Bedretto Valley stretches from the Nufenen Pass to Airolo - and offers you a lot of hiking fun.
