- Destination: Ulrichen railroad station
From Airolo, the journey starts through the wild and romantic Bedretto Valley up to the Nufenen Pass. From the top of the pass, you then drive down into the Valais, to Ulrichen.
The pass road through the quiet Bedretto Valley into the Upper Valais was only opened in 1969. The well-built Nufenen is the second-highest Swiss Alpine pass after the Umbrail. Once you reach the top, you can enjoy an unforgettable panoramic view of snow-capped mountains. Not only excursionists appreciate the varied nature in the Bedretto Valley, ibex also feel at home here. With a bit of luck, the animals can be observed directly from the road.
