Don't forget the taillight. There are several short tunnels on the way to the Sanetsch Pass.

Sanetsch Pass from Sion

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

The Sanetsch Pass is a quiet and easily navigable pass, somewhat underestimated as a dead end. However, it can still be integrated into a circular route: the cable car station is located at the reservoir (approx. 200 meters of gravel, accessible by road bike). This can also be used, for example, by bike to Gsteig in the Bernese Oberland. From Steig, for example, you can head west into Vaud via the Col du Pillon and the Col de la Croix.

Very pretty lake on the road to Sanetsch. Reservoir lake, it is always very pleasant to cycle along a waterhole!
