Water Fountain in Oberwald

Highlight • Rest Area

It was closed now, but there are restrooms nearby that will do the trick!
No need to pay to use the restrooms at the Grimsel restaurant.

Nufenen Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Nufenen Pass is at an altitude of 2,480 meters, making it the highest Alpine pass in Switzerland. Among cyclists it is considered one of the toughest. The restaurant is particularly interesting for hikers, where they can have a bite to eat and the brilliant view of the Griesgletscher.
