Marmot enclosure at Grimsel Pass

Highlight • Structure

Attention: There are two marmot enclosures. This one across from the Hotel Alpenrösli (no Murmelis seen) and the other across from the Berghotel Grimselblick (seen here on every visit so far).

Grimsel Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Those who are up here, it's best to also do a circular tour around the Totensee and enjoy the wonderful reflections on the water surface.

View of the Unteraar Glacier Basin

Highlight • Viewpoint

There was probably once a glacier there. But you can still enjoy a view of its enormous glacier bed and the river that feeds the reservoir from here.

The connecting road between the Grimsel Pass and the source of the Aare.

The Panoramastrasse Oberaar is a private road of the Oberhasli AG power plants, which was developed in 1949 for the construction of the Oberaar dam. The road is open to the public from around the end of June to the end of October. As an alternative, the Oberaarbahn can be used to reach the Oberaar area from the Hotel Grimsel Hospiz and get a unique perspective of the Grimselwelt.
