The old pass route towards the Albrun Pass is now part of the Rhine-Reuss-Rhone pilgrimage route. The path leads through the Twingi Gorge with its historic Roman bridge into the Hockmatta.

Village Square Ernen

Highlight • Settlement

Ernen is always worth a visit. A beautiful little Valais village with old, narrow streets. Especially recommended during the music festivals in August. There are wonderful concerts in the small church.

We are very tired, our knees too. A distance under 50km, a correct elevation gain but especially significant portions of gravel and too steep for us = push push. And it costs a lot to push.
