    Hiking

    The Rawil Pass, French Col du Rawyl. The pass was already used in Roman times and in the Middle Ages and was an important crossing point from the Bernese Oberland to the central Valais. The actual mule track over the Rawil Pass begins in the north on the Iffigenalp, which can now be reached by post bus or by car via a time-controlled road. The path winds its way up through a rock face in serpentines. It had to be blasted out of the rock in the 18th century.

    Running

    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.

    Possibility to go towards the Wildstrubelhütte, Iffigenalp (Berne) or Lac Tseuzier. Plenty of choices.
