thumb|Descending to Wildhorn (March 2007). thumb|Early Bronze Age pins, the one found at Schnidejoch in the middle. The Schnidejoch is a mountain pass in the Bernese Alps, at 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. They suggest that the pass was in regular use as a short route across the Bernese Alps, connecting the Bernese Oberland and the Valais, throughout this period. The nearest easier passes across the massif are the Sanetschpass () and the Rawilpass (), situated a short distance to the west and east, respectively.
