From the Simplon Pass (Valais) to San Bernardino (Graubünden)

After "From the Great Saint Bernard Pass to Simplon Pass", here is "From Simplon Pass to San Bernardino Pass".

This is not the return journey from the Great Saint Bernard to Simplon after a language study trip to Italy, but rather the continuation of the route to the San Bernardino Pass in the canton of Graubünden. This hike requires a very good level of fitness, with several stages involving more than 1,300 metres of elevation gain or loss. After two days in Wallis (German-speaking Valais), the atmosphere becomes completely Italian: two days in Italy (Val Formazza), nine days in Ticino (Tessin in Italian), and two days in Grigioni (Grisons in Italian). Lake Maggiore and Locarno are also on the itinerary.
