Itinerary at a glance

On your alpine adventure you will tackle alpine passes such as the Gemmi Pass, the Hahnenmoos Pass or the Rawil Pass and cross one of the most beautiful mountain valleys in Switzerland, the Simmental. The Bisse du Ro at the end of the hike is a spectacular highlight.

Your hiking route begins with a steep ascent to Bisse de Tsittoret, which leads into an exciting hike to Leukerbad. Views of the four-thousand-metre snow-covered Valais peaks will amaze you during the tour and round off the hiking day perfectly.

The escarpment above Leukerbad was long considered impassable, but as early as 1739 a path was carved up to the Gemmi Pass. The tour up the Gemmi is an absolute highlight. At the top, a fantastic panorama awaits you and a long descent into the Bernese Oberland.

Today there is a steep ascent to the Bunderspitz ahead of you. However, once you have conquered this, you can enjoy the impressive view of the surrounding mountain peaks and valleys, including the Albula Valley and the Engadine. After a short rest, the descent to Adelboden follows.

You start the hike along the Via Alpina to Silleren, where you can take the cable car to Sillerebüel. Then you continue your hike to the Hahnenmoospass. The Simmental is considered one of the most beautiful mountain valleys in Switzerland and is officially also the home municipality of the Wildstrubel.

A transfer takes you to Iffigenalp, from where you ascend almost 1,000 meters in altitude to the Rawil Pass. Across the cantonal border back into Valais and pass the imposing dam wall of Lac de Tseuzier. The Bisse du Ro is an adventurous highlight at the end of this hike
