Pas de Morgins Location in the Alps | |
Pas de Morgins (el. 1369 m.) is a high mountain pass in the Alps between the canton of Valais in Switzerland and France. It is located at the top of the Val de Morgins, which turns off the Val d'Illiez at Troistorrents.
The road through the Val de Morgins is marked by a series of hairpin curves.
It connects Monthey and Abondance.
Two amphibian tunnels constructed in 2004/2005 and three tunnels constructed in 2015 leading to the nearby Lac de Morgins allow amphibians to avoid crossing the Pas de Morgins and reduced amphibian roadkill numbers.
