the most dangerous swiss road

No traveler in Switzerland has paid for a self-recharging mail in Switzerland. It leads in Valais from Sitten via Conthey, Erde and Aven to Derborence.

Spectacular, demanding, dangerous.

So, when PostBus line 331 is spotted in the ZDF report, the “NZZ” is rather sober and recently spoke of the “craziest PostBus line in Switzerland”.

And it’s true: the route that PostBus has been following since 1959 is not for the faint-hearted. Over a long period of time, a large number of people are in contact with each other, but they do not contain any timetables.

While driving, it is strictly forbidden to talk to the driver; he needs absolute concentration. Only the most experienced and nervous drivers dare to go on the road. When you write “NZZ”, it is in Switzerland that there are bad guys.

A new person is Josy Germanier. The post-car service takes 31 days of travel and knows the risks: “My biggest challenge is to bring people to their destination safely,” he told ZDF.

There is plenty of space on the other side of the road, the street is as short as possible. So the horn is constantly used. There is also a constant threat of falling rocks. You must all know that this makes the journey a huge challenge.

Most passengers travel to Derborence to go hiking or enjoy the Swiss mountains at Lac de Derborence. Derborence is also home to one of the last remaining virgin forests in Switzerland: thousands of silver fir trees grow over an area of ​​about 25 hectares, some reaching over 40 meters high and up to 450 years old.

Be sure to write a new book of the German book by Swiss writers Charles Ferdinand Ramuz. “Derborance” was released in 1985 and adapted for the cinema in 1985. By the way, Ramuz was featured in large on the old Swiss 200 franc note.
