Schnidejoch

The Schnidejoch is a mountain pass in the Bernese Alps, at 2,756 m (9,042 ft) above sea level, cutting across the ridge connecting the Schnidehorn and the Wildhorn.

Archaeological artifacts, their dates spread over six millennia (from the Neolithic to the Late Middle Ages), have been discovered near the pass.

In September 2003, Bronze Age or Neolithic artifacts were discovered at the icefield just below the pass, at ca.

The discovery was made possible by the melting away of the formerly permanent ice field during the exceptionally hot summer of 2003.

A yew bow found at the site and taken home by a German tourist in 2003 was returned to the Bernese cantonal archaeologists in 2005.
