Nufenentrail

At the start on the Nufenenpass, there is a magnificent view of the snow-covered peaks of the Bernese and Valais Alps. You can already get a first glimpse of the upcoming descent: from above some sections of the trail are clearly visible. At first, the trail makes a detour across the cantonal border into Ticino before continuing on Valais soil. The uppermost section leads through a high alpine landscape: over rocky terrain, past dry stone walls and other relics of Roman times. A look into the distance is worthwhile. Apart from the beautiful view over the whole valley, in good visibility the peaks of the Finsteraarhorn as well as Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau can be seen in the background. There follow flowy sections over soft alpine meadows and forest ground. They are interrupted by short, more technically demanding sections. The crossings of the Nufenen pass road offer ideal rest pauses.
