  From the cable car at Rosswald — a car-free sun terrace above the Rhône valley with sweeping views over the Valaisian and Bernese Alps — the route traces the Bärgwasser irrigation channel (Suone) before climbing past the Bortelhütte and descending to the Simplon Pass road gallery at Schallbett. In autumn, the larch forests above Rothwald turn gold and the slopes offer wild blueberries along the way.

  This stage of the Alpine Passes Trail crosses through the Binntal Landscape Park, a valley renowned for its mineral wealth — more than 200 different minerals have been found here, over half of them in the Lengenbach mineral mine, where snow-white dolomite marble can be searched for fool's gold.

The path passes through terrain carved directly into rock — as visible at Schallberg — on a route that has been revived in recent years as a living piece of Alpine history.

From the panoramic restaurant Mäderlicka near the top, the Wasenhorn on the Valais–Italy border comes into view, and on a clear day you can hear snatches of Italian carried on the wind.
