ローフェンの峠・トップ8

On many cloudy days in Basel due to high fog, the sun shines there.

Great view of the Laufental

The Blauepass is a stunning pass that offers breathtaking views of the Bernese Alps, where peaks and unspoiled nature stretch as far as the eye can see. The area also has historical significance, as the Blauepass was once an important route for trade and travel across the Alps. On a clear day, you can even see Lake Thun in the distance.

pedestrian pass between Hofstettenspitz and Blauenberg

Steep ramp from Nenzligen. Practically the entire climb is on a concrete road. Except for the last 100 meters, on the relatively flat pass, it is on gravel. The route is also easy to ride on a gravel bike or even a racing bike.

Beautiful rest area with panorama

The Challpass is an unspectacular curve with a parking lot or postbus turning point on a busy main road. Nevertheless far and wide one of the few possibilities to cross the blue chain in north-south direction or vice versa.

One of the rather rare north-south crossings between Aesch and Lucelle. A somewhat ugly ramp on the south side, but the north side is all the more beautiful.
