In the valley of Conches, this ascent allows you to reach the highest pass entirely in Switzerland, culminating at 2478m of altitude, and to discover its breathtaking view.

As soon as you leave the village of Ulrichen, you won't have to wait long before you encounter the first difficulties of the day. Nevertheless, once you have passed the first series of hairpin bends, you will be able to catch your breath at a well-deserved flat spot. It is also at this moment that you will be able to guess for the first time the summit, all up there... The respite will be of short duration since the steepest part of the ascent is right in front of you. But don't forget to take a look in the direction of the highest wind farm in Europe before you start the last few switchbacks. At the top, the lake marks the border between the cantons of Valais and Ticino.
