We first discovered this valley on a hike from Muottas Muragl on the “gastronomic trail” and fell in love with this picturesque valley with views of glacier covered peaks, cattle, llamas, goats and sheep and the sounds of cowbells and mountain streams. The first time we walked on the marked Trails on either side of the valley. The second time we decided just to walk along the road to be in the floor of the valley which by the way is quite a bit shorter than the trails up on the side of the mountains. The trail to the Val Fex runs right by our hotel in the entire trail was absolutely beautiful.

The pass is only open after 1st of June until October after the majority of the winter snow has melted. Enjoyed looking around the small museum at the Monastry, together with old pictures of Monks in the snow with the dogs. Great views of the surrounding mountains, and there are pleasant walks in the vicinity.

This is a must drive if you can deal with the very narrow curvy mountain road with very little in terms of a barricade between you and the mountain cliff. If you ever have driven the Hana road in Maui, think of that but much higher. It is easily reachable from Zurich in 2 hours, so if you have lengthy layover, jump in a rental and drive down, stop in Lucerne. The drive takes you through a few small villages where they have restaurants and cafes. Once you get to the pass, there is a viewing point with washrooms and 2 restaurants / cafe. A lot of motorcyclists on the road as it was sunny warm fall day.

One of the highest points in Switzerland (highest on the Glacier Express). The place is surrounded by beautiful views. Must visit!
