At 2,103 meters above sea level, the Monscera Pass is a natural border between Switzerland and Italy that offers a breathtaking view of the Swiss Alps. From here the gaze sweeps over the famous "Simplon triptych" - Fletschhorn, Lagginhorn and Weissmies - with Monte Leone looming on the horizon. A unique vantage point to immerse yourself in the grandeur of these Swiss peaks.

Nice quiet pass. Difficult from the Swiss side, as there are many stairs, but it's worth the effort 🤗
