Destination: Simplon Pass

Along the national route no. 6, the Alpine Pass Route, you hike from Gspon to Simplon Pass. A beautiful stage with wide views of the Valais and Bernese Alps.

4th stage: accompanied by the Eida.

Continuing along this panoramic path at 2000 to 2300 meters altitude, you reach the Gebidum Pass, which is located above the village of Visperterminen. It is famous for its vineyards. Here is the basin fed by an old canal, the “Biss,” also called Eida. The Eida itself carries the water from the Fletschhorn Glacier. Thus, you now enter the Nanztal along the “Biss,” with a picturesque view of the valley and the steep face of the Fletschhorn. In Obers Fulmoos, you then walk on the other side of the valley and thus reach the Bistine Pass, from where you enter the Simplon Valley, with views of Monte Leone (the highest mountain of the Lepontine Alps).
