Grimselpass

Switzerland

46.56 | 8.34

2200m

Overview

The Grimsel Pass peaks at nearly 2200m and connects the Bernese Oberland to Valais. The often different pressure conditions between the two areas frequently create wind balance.
 The pass is oriented from north to south.
As the Grimsel is one of the snowiest regions in Switzerland, it's not uncommon to find 3 to 4 m of snow.

Parking
To access the spot, contact the Grimselblick hotel located in front of the lake, which organizes access by snowmobile/snow groomer. The hotel is open from February and offers this service. Needless to say, you can spend the night here and have a meal. (www.grimselpass.ch). It's a unique experience!
Wind specificities
The pass is located from north to south and is therefore ideal for snowkiting in all north and south winds.
Hazards
The west side of the spot is much larger than the east side. Further south and north, there are many more shelters and hollows for freeriding and freestyle. As a beginner or professional, you'll find everything your heart desires.
 Since there are generally very few snowkiters here, you'll always find good powder somewhere!
