When circumnavigating the Totensee, you walk a bit along the pass road. Near the dam wall, looking towards the glacier, you can see the Furkapss with the former Hotel Belvedere in the distance.

October 12, 2021,🇨🇭Grimselpasshöhe 2164m-Totesee🌊- Sidelhorn🏔️2764m
Motto: pit stop on the way home.
Started from the free parking lot at the Grimselpasshöhe, hiked a very beautiful path towards the Sidelhorn⛰️2764m, enjoying the full broadside of the🇨🇭mountain. The upper last piece has to be balanced a bit between the large stones, but it is easy to do. Above 360 degree view absolutely, of course even better in …

Very nice but demanding tour to the Sidelhorn. Once at the top, you will be spoiled with a magnificent view of the Valais and Bernese Alps. You can also enjoy a view of the Unteraar and Oberaar glaciers. Sure-footedness and a head for heights are prerequisites for this tour.

The sunset was simply beautiful that day.

As a result, we hiked down at night, so there are no pictures of the way back; it was too dark.
