It connects the Swiss Saas-Almagel (Canton of Valais) with the Italian Macuñaga in Piedmont. It has long been an important border crossing between the Saas and Macunyaga valleys.
How to get there?
There is no road for cars - the pass is passed by a path, so be prepared to walk. This is one of the highest sections of the popular trekking route around Monte Rosa (Tour Monte Rosa).
When is the best time to go?
Як і на більшості високих альпійських перевалів, реальне вікно - літо і початок осені, поки сніг не перекрив стежку. In the off-season, there is nothing to do at 2853 meters.
What is interesting about the pass for a traveler?
First of all, the views of Monte Rosa and the very fact that you go from Switzerland to Italy in one step. Plus, it is a landmark on the Tour Monte Rosa trekking, which gathers many lovers of long mountain crossings.
