Hike from the Simplon Pass up to Spitzhorli. You will enjoy a fantastic view over the Alps.

The hike to Spitzhorli starts on the Simplon Pass at Simplon-Blick. You hike past Alpstafel Hopsche and Lake Hopschusee before the hiking trail begins to climb slightly. The hiking trail runs far below the Tochuhorn before zigzagging up to the plain at Undru Rossusee. Passing the lake on the left, the hiking trail climbs up to Üsseri Nanzlicka. The hiking trail to Spitzhorli branches off to the right here. The final ascent to the summit is steep and exhausting. The view from the summit cross is overwhelming. On a clear day, you can even see the Great Aletsch Glacier.

 

The trail leads back to the Simplon Pass along the same paths.
