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.

A good way to see the hospice up close is to take a circular hike on the Simplon Pass. You will also pass two picturesque mini lakes. https://www.teddy-b.ch/tipp-der-woche/simplon-rundweg-bergalpe-vs-historischer-promi-treff/

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.

The stone eagle is still the symbol of the Simplon Pass today. As a symbol of vigilance, it was created to commemorate the "Watch on the Simplon" by the 11th Border Brigade during the Second World War. The eagle is over 9m high and is made of roughly hewn stones. It was built according to the plans of the architect and sculptor Erwin Friedrich Baumann von Faulensee, Spiez. Based on his consideration that the solar radiation has an intense effect at an altitude of over 2000 m above sea level and that the free-standing solid masonry potentiates the heat towards the core and that the outer layers could have a destructive effect if the outer layers subsequently cooled down, he arranged the main focus of the concrete core an accessible cavity. This serves as a ventilation shaft and has a channel to the outside below in the slope of the monument hill and above in the neck of the eagle. The inauguration ceremony of this gigantic brick monument took place on September 10, 1944 with over 600 officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers. However, the architect and sculptor Erwin Friedrich Baumann stayed away from the celebration because he was deeply hurt that Werner Grimm, the chief engineer, claimed to be the builder of the Simplona eagle. A model and documents on the construction history of the Simplona eagle are on display in the museum of the infantry fort in the Gondo Gorge. On the base is the following inscription: "IN THE FREEDOM OF THE MOUNTAINS STANDS A MASSIVE MEMORIAL MADE OF HARD GRANITE: A MEMORY OF THE FAITH PERFORMANCE OF DUTIES, A CONTINUOUS ADMONITION TO BE WILLING AND AWAKE FOR OUR FREEDOM." https://www.brig-simplon.ch/regionorte/Infrastruktur.php?infrastructurekey=simplon-adler&first=330

The symbol of the Simplon Pass is the golden eagle. The stone bird of prey was erected during World War II. The pass had an important meaning at the time: the connection was then militarily expanded from the border to Italy to the top of the pass.
