ビスプの峠・トップ20

Was worshipped by smugglers

The Monte Moro Pass is located on the border between Switzerland and Italy, connecting the Saas Valley in Valais to the Anzasca Valley in Piedmont. The unique feature of this pass is that it is accessible via a medieval mule track. The route and photos are available at: https://treksrandos.fr/alpes/valais/alpes-pennines/col-de-monte-moro/

Wayside cross for various beautiful hikes.

Wayside cross for hikes towards Simplon Village and Simplon Pass.

Crucial junction on Monte Rosa. Here runs the border with Switzerland. This pass separates the basin of the Lys glacier, in Italy from that of the Grenzgletscher, in Switzerland. For those who climb to the Margherita Hut from Gniffetti or Mantova, this point is significant: from here you begin to see the goal!

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 Lys pass, at 4,246 meters above sea level, is a crossroads: from here you can continue towards Capanna Margherita along the normal route or reach the peaks of Ludwigshöhe and Punta Parrot (Parrotspitze). From here you have a beautiful view of the Lyskamm.
