Unfortunately, the path ends at a long metal staircase in front of the Cabane des Violettes, which is difficult to get your bike down!

From the Iffigenalp, a hiking trail leads through the forest and then along paths blasted into the rock to the pass. Together with the many waterfalls and the plateau, I found this pass to be magnificent.

The Cry d'Er, at an altitude of 2,258 metres, is a superb place to admire the Lac du Rawil, also called Lac de Tseuzier. You can also see the imposing dam that prevents the water reservoir from flowing into the valley.

Pure alpine idyll: Here, on the Rawilalp near Plan des Roses, there is a small mountain lake and plenty of peace and quiet. Pause and enjoy.

At the Rawil Pass you are at an altitude of 2,429 meters and on the border between the cantons of Bern and Valais. It is good that the plans from the 1980s to build a road and tunnel here were rejected by a popular initiative, because this means that the mountain idyll continues to prevail here instead of noise.

The Wildhornhütte SAC is located in the middle of a spectacular alpine landscape just above the Iffigsee at 2,303 meters. If you are on a trail run, you can eat here while enjoying a wonderful view. If you are on a multi-day tour, you can also stay overnight here: There are 96 beds, but as always, it is best to reserve in advance.
