Hiking vibes
Vermigelhütte-Sellapass-Giübin-Passo Posmeda-Lago della Sella-Gotthardpass
After a quiet night at the Vermigelhütte, the ascent to the Sellapass begins. At the start, it leads across beautiful alpine meadows with many cattle. Higher up, the terrain turns into rock and boulders. However, the path is very accessible and well-marked. From the Sellapass, you can continue the ascent to the summit of the Giübin. This is well worth the effort. After about another 60 meters in altitude, you reach this magnificent vantage point. You can see the high mountains ranging from the Bernese and Valais Alps to the Blinnenhorn and Rheinwaldhorn. The descent first leads over rocky terrain. Soon the path improves and runs high above the beautiful reservoir, Lago della Sella. From the dam wall, you reach the Gotthardpass with a gentle descent.
