グレヘンの峠・トップ14

Wayside cross for various beautiful hikes.

Wayside cross for hikes towards Simplon Village and Simplon Pass.

When coming from Visp from Neubrück, be sure to take the old cantonal road on the western side of the valley. This climb is a very special jewel among the pass roads, the piste is excellent, the characteristics varied. Only on very hot days can the climb be a little strenuous due to very little shade - in such cases, getting up early helps a lot.

Beautiful view of the Rhone Valley and the surrounding 4000-metre mountains!

The Augstbordpass connects the small village of Gruben in the Turtmanntal Valley in the west with the small town of Grachen in the Mattertal Valley in the east. At 2,892 meters of altitude, this pass can hold snow, sometimes even during the summer. Known for their mineralized and therapeutic waters, these mountains have been frequented for several centuries. The path that takes you to the pass is mostly gravel and rock on both sides. From the top, you have a magnificent view of the alpine mountains.

Don't miss the detour to the lake from the Gibidum Pass

Great terrace at 2048 m above sea level.

The description "Alpe d'Huez" of Switzerland is correct because the route profile is very similar. It is not so hot early in the morning and you ride like in a picture book. The views all around are great. Next year the "Bärgüf" (Together against cancer) will take place on this route again. A great event with 800 participants. Those who like special experiences can start at 5 a.m. with most of the other participants.
