The Kaltwasser Pass (German: Kaltwasserpass or Chaltwasserpass, Italian: Bocchetta d'Aurona) is an Alpine pass connecting Switzerland and Italy.
The pass is located between the Wasenhorn or Punta di Terrarossa (3255m (10,679feet)) and the Monte Leone (3561m (11,683feet)).[1]
Climbing the pass requires about 5 hours and is generally a fairly easy hike. It runs from the old Simplon Hospice, a Swiss heritage site of national significance, past the Kaltwasser or Aurona glacier to the Italian Alpe di Veglia.
