バチェーノの峠・トップ20

The Saflisch Pass, at over 2,500 meters high, can be reached by bike, but it's a real challenge. From Binn, you have to climb over 1,100 meters in altitude over a distance of about 14 kilometers. The higher you go, the wilder and quieter it becomes. A fantastic crossing that demands a lot but is equally rewarding!

The trail descends from the Breithorn into the valley via countless switchbacks. The ascent involves an almost moderate gradient of 8-10%, but the path is very varied and offers beautiful views of the mountains.

Be careful, there are no more mattresses in the bivouac. A window is broken; it gets very, very cold at night. No fire pit. Don't plan to spend the night there unless it's an emergency.

Finally made the driveway!

Easy to conquer with the E-MTB, only a few pushing passages.

The Rosswald - Saflisch Pass route was improved in 2022.

Passo Scatta Minoia is located at 2,599 meters above sea level and marks the border between Val Formazza and Valle Devero. Here is the Ettore Conti Bivouac, which is white and red in color. The GTA, the Great Crossing of the Alps, also passes through this place.

As compensation for all the hardships of the ascent, the Breithorn offers a magnificent view over the mountains and glaciers of Valais. The area on the mountain could well serve as a backdrop for a western and the descent into the valley to Heiligkreuz is an almost endless pleasure for all mountain bike fans.
