F3 Tour du Wildhorn stage 4: Cabane des Audannes - Sanetschpass - Gsteig

The Tour du Wildhorn offers mountaineers a beautiful long-distance hike over four stages around the Wildhorn.

Ascend the valley to the saddle (La Selle 2709m). Follow the ridge to the Pass of Audannes (Col des Audannes 2886m). Beautiful panorama of the Vaud and Valais Alps up to Mont Blanc. The descent to Grand Gouilles first goes over ladders and ropes. Cross Grand Gouilles (2471m) heading west, then steadily ascend to reach the Arête de l'Arpille (2652m). Follow the ridge westwards to the Sanetsch Pass (2252m). A good path along the right shore of the lake leads you to the Sanetsch dam and the inn of the same name (2050m). The descent to Gsteig is steep and demands full concentration again (as an alternative, the Sanetsch cable car can be used – note it only runs until about 4:45 p.m.).
