At the Gemmi Pass above Leukerbad, the Désalpe des moutons celebrates sheep coming down from alpine summer pastures. Photographers can capture moving herds, church-and-mountain backdrops, and dramatic ridgelines over the Rhone valley. Best light is late morning to golden hour in clear weather; autumn can bring misty atmosphere and fewer crowds.
