This was a photo at Sefinenfurgge Pass on the 18th of September. This pass is on the Bernese Oberland Traverse (BOT)/Via Alpina and it is the second highest at 8570 ft. When conditions are like this, we suggest skipping the hike and taking transportation to the other side. Even if you get up to the pass, the other side down is even more treacherous in these conditions.
Remember, snow can happen any time in the mountains, even in the summer!
The non snowy photo is what it looks like hiking up to the pass (in 2014).
Here is a link to a video from a 2016 Alpinehikers FB post of the stairs below Sefinenfurgge descending to Griesalp.
