Nufenen Pass: Airolo - Ulrichen

The ride through the wild romantic Bedretto Valley up to the Nufenen Pass starts from Airolo. From the pass summit, you then descend to Valais, to Ulrichen.

The pass road through the quiet Bedretto Valley into Upper Valais was only opened in 1969. The well-developed Nufenen is the second highest Swiss Alpine pass after the Umbrail. Once at the top, you enjoy an unforgettable panoramic view over snow-covered mountains. Not only excursionists appreciate the diverse nature in the Bedretto Valley, ibexes also clearly feel at home here. With a bit of luck, the animals can be observed directly from the road.
