View of Leukerbad from Gemmi Pass

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view from the Gemmi Pass down to Leukerbad is not for the faint-hearted... The way up or down also requires a lot of concentration. The easy alternative: take the cable car up or down.

A very well-maintained and safe path. Steep with many stone steps and stairs. Tip: Very pleasant in the early morning hours, as the path is located among the rocks and is mostly in full sun at midday.
