View of Leukerbad from Gemmi Pass

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view from the Gemmi Pass down to Leukerbad is not for the faint-hearted... The way up or down also requires a lot of concentration. The easy alternative: take the cable car up or down.

The Gemmi Pass is a 2268 m above sea level[1][2] high mountain pass in Switzerland. It is located in the Valais municipality of Leukerbad in the Bernese Alps and forms a north-south connection between Kandersteg in the Kandertal (canton of Bern) and Leukerbad in the valley of the Dala. The pass is on the ridge between the Daubenhorn (2942 m above sea level) in the west and the Plattenhörner (up to 2855 m above sea level) in the east. The border with the canton of Bern is much further north and lower.

Gemmi Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A very well-maintained and safe path. Steep with many stone steps and stairs. Tip: Very pleasant in the early morning hours, as the path is located among the rocks and is mostly in full sun at midday.

August 26, 2025,Tour 3 : Leukerbad Gemmi Daubensee

Today we planned a spectacular tour up the Gemmi Pass! The first photo shows the wall and the path from the top of the cable car, while the second photo shows it from below!!! 🤪 The climb is tough, with 900 meters of elevation gain, but it's well-maintained and even accessible in sneakers. We then visited Lake Daubensee, which is …

Looking up from the village of Leukerbad at the Gemmiwand, you think: "That's absolutely impossible, climbing the Gemmi Pass. That face goes straight up; you need climbing ropes or a cable car (which is also available)." But it is possible. Hidden behind rock formations and shrubs, a well-maintained path leads upwards. Secured with railings and fences where necessary. It's a …
