It's always nice to cross passes that offer new vistas and allow you to step from one world into another. The Leitere Pass is one of those. Coming from Stockhort, you've got the last few meters of the tour to Gurnigel ahead of you, and you can perhaps look forward to a glass of milk or a cheese at Nünenealp. Or you're on your way toward Stockhorn and see the varied trail via Hohmad, Chatz & Mus, and Walalp for the first time. Yes, it is a beautiful place.
