villages of Oberwald> Obergestelen, and the mountains of the high range of the Alps, extending to the Simplon. Oberwald affords no resting-place ; but accommodation and civility, very different from that which Saussure experienced there,* is now offered to the traveller at Obergestelen, a village which was a great dépôt for cheese, sent from Switzerland across the Grimsel and the Gries into the north of Italy ; but the formation of the great roads across the Alps has lessened the traffic which

was formerly* carried on over the passes tra versable only by mules. From Obergestelen the traveller towards the Gries crosses the Rhone near the village, and descends through a forest of larches, on the left bank of the river, about half an hour, then turning through the village of Imloch, in the Egi- nenthal, a valley which descends from the Gries, the path rises towards this mountain, through a deep glen, in which there is a fine waterfall, and amidst vast larches, whose roots, and trunks, and branches

, overhang the torrent which de scends from the Gries, adding greatly to the wildness of this part of the passage, and giving to it a picturesque character ; but the road soon rises by a rapid ascent above the vege tation of the larch, and the scene becomes as sterile and as savage as the approach to the Grimsel above Handek. At length the valley terminates in the glacier of the Gries, which appears to forbid all further progress ; yet the route to the Val Formazza lies directly across it. On the left

, and before arriving at the glacier, a difficult mountain-path leads . across the Mont Luvino to Naufanen, and by the Val Bedretto to Airolo, at the foot of the St. Gothard. The path by which the summit of the Gries is attained is very difficult, though practicable for laden mules : after at taining it, on looking back, the traveller is surprised to see, on the left, high above the valley of Egina, and even the glaciers Voyages dans les Alps, &c. § 1715.

of the Gries, that chalets and rich mountain-pasturages, Which are speckled with cattle, are still higher; and beyond the valley of Egina, which he has traversed, he sees the summits of the mountains of the Oberland Bernois. A perfectly safe path leads, in twenty minutes, across the glacier of the Gries; the greatest height of the pass is 7900 feet above the level of the sea; bare and scathed rocks rise in terrible grandeur out of the glaciers to an immense height; the silence of the place adds

greatly to its sublimity; and the appearance, to the author, of one of the large eagles of the Alps, the lammergayer, which was whirling its flight around a mountain peak, increased the deep emotion excited by the solitude of the scene. The river Toccia has its rise in the glaciers, of the Gries, whence it flows through' the valleys' of Formazza, Antigorio, and Ossola, to the Lago'Maggiore. After leaving the glaciers, the path which leads towards Italy by the Val Formazza rapidly descends, and the

of chalets called Kehrbachi, is sometimes inhabited throughout the year. The road still descending steeply, leads to another plain, where trees and the vegetation of a lower region relieve the tedium which the dreary passage of the Gries produces, and where the Toccia flows quietly through the little hamlet and valley of Auf-der-Frut: at the termination of the plain, there is a little chapel and a cross on the brink of a shelf of rocks of great depth and extent, unseen and unsuspected until the traveller

ROUTE FROM LUCERNE TO DOMO D’OSSOLA, BY THE GRIMSEL AND THE GRIES. The Pass of the Grimsel is much frequented in the height of summer: the fine scenery of the Oberhasli and the upper valley of the Aar, and the direct communication of these by the Grimsel with the Haut-Valais and the glaciers of the Rhone, offer inducements to the traveller to make this pas sage of the Alps, and will repay the fatigue of the excursion. From the Haut-Valais a path ascends by the glaciers of the Rhone, to the pass

of the Furca, which leads into Italy by the Mount St. Gothard; another route descends through the Valais to Brigg, where the great route of the Simplon offers its facilities to those who would enter Italy by Homo d’Ossola. The passage of the Gries, however, though a less known, is a more direct route to Homo d’Ossola, from Ober- gestelen, a village in the Haut-Valais; and it can be as easily accomplished on mules as the passage of the Grimsel, whilst the scenes of wildness and grandeur presented

in the route of the Gries are no where exceeded in the Alps. There are few events of historical importance associated with this mountain route ; and it ought, perhaps, to have given place to some pass of more extensive communication; NO. VIII. Q
