Description of the Pass: The Nufenen Pass in the Valaisan Alps - in Italian Passo della Novena - connects Airolo in the upper Leventina Valley to Ulrichen in the upper Rhone Valley which is called Goms. This mountain pass is the watershed between the streams Po and Rhone. It is also the border between the cantons Ticino and Wallis. The eastern part of the mountain street passes through the Bedreto Valley while the western part runs along the Agene Valley.
