Best Time of Year
Description
The pass road through the quiet Bedretto Valley into Upper Valais was only built in 1969. The well-developed Nufenenpass is, after the Umbrail, the second highest Swiss Alpine pass. The cycling route starts in Airolo in the canton of Ticino. Through the idyllic Bedretto Valley, you ride past dense fir forests and lush meadows along the Nufenenpass road. The winding pass road to the pass height fascinates with a breathtaking mountain backdrop. Upon arrival, road cyclists enjoy an unforgettable panoramic view over snow-covered mountains. Not only road cyclists appreciate the diverse nature in the Bedretto Valley, ibexes also clearly feel at home here.
From the height of the Nufenenpass at 2,478 m above sea level, it descends into the canton of Valais towards Ulrichen. Here, too, you enjoy a great view while feeling the cool breeze during your ride.
