The Alpine Passes Trail begins in Chur, the capital of the Canton of Graubünden. It leads in 34 stages over the Greina into Ticino and on over the Piora and the Nufenen Pass into Valais. There the Saflisch Pass and the Simplon Pass are on the route that then runs into the French-speaking part of the Valais. The hiker experiences the high mountains, the panorama of the Valais four-thousand-meter peaks as well as various historical places. Via the Great St. Bernhard and the Dents du Midi you finally reach the border town of Saint-Gingolph on Lake Geneva.
