투르트만-운테렘스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪19‬개의 산길

Ideal crossing from the Turtmanntal to the Val d'Anniviers

Nice section... a bit more challenging than the rest of the way to Barrhorn

simply go slowly, it is not dangerous even with the ropes

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.

The only "trickier" spot on the way to the Barrhorn.

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.

Two options are available to those who want to cross from Val d'Anniviers to Val Turtmann: the Meidpass or the Forcletta Pass. The Meidpass is the most popular, lowest, least strenuous and easily accessible path from the Hotel Weisshorn or from St. Luc. It is possible to run this route, if you are fit enough to tackle the steep climb to the top. The descent from both sides is great fun. The trail ascends and descends through pastures with good views of the surrounding landscape. From here, there are sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. You can admire the high peaks that border the west side of the Val d'Anniviers and the Val de Moiry. The panorama includes a sea of peaks dominating the Rhone Valley and the highest peaks, including the Grand Combin and Mont Blanc, to the southwest. As you pass the pass from the west, impressive views open up to the Brunegghorn, the Bishorn and the Weisshorn which rise above the craggy peaks in the Val Turtmann. The peaks of the Dom and the Taschhorn rise above the ridge which borders the east side of the Val Turtmann. An important note: the Meidpass marks the border between French-speaking Valais and German-speaking Wallis.
