Furkapass: Wild camping in 2,400meters
A high-mountain camping spot surrounded by glaciers, granite peaks, and silence — perfect for a night under the stars.
Wild camping on Furkapass offers one of the most atmospheric experiences in the Swiss Alps. Perched at over 2,400 meters, this area provides wide, open spaces ideal for pitching a tent amid alpine meadows or near granite boulders. The location grants incredible sunrise and sunset views over the surrounding peaks and valleys, while the thin, crisp mountain air adds to the sense of isolation. Nearby trails lead to climbing areas like Hannibal and viewpoints over the Rhône Glacier, making it a perfect overnight stop for adventurers, climbers, and cyclists crossing the pass. While it’s a wild spot, always camp responsibly — leave no trace and respect the delicate alpine environment.
