Nufenentrail

Starting at the Nufenen Pass, you are treated to a magnificent view of the snow-capped peaks of the Bernese and Valais Alps. And you can already catch a glimpse of the descent ahead: some sections of the trail are clearly visible from above. The trail first makes another detour across the cantonal border into Ticino before continuing on Valais soil. The uppermost section leads through a high alpine landscape: over stony terrain, past dry stone walls and other relics from Roman times. It's worth taking a look into the distance. Apart from the beautiful view over the entire valley, on a clear day you can see the peaks of the Finsteraarhorn, Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau in the background. This is followed by flowing sections over soft alpine meadows and forest floor. These are interrupted by short, technically more demanding passages. The crossings of the Nufenen Pass road offer ideal places to catch your breath.
