FURKA · 2'429 M

Furka Pass

Queen of the Swiss passes

A spectacular ridge road linking Valais and Uri. Wide views, fast straights between tight hairpins, and the iconic glacier hotel at the summit.

GRIMSEL · 2'165 M

Grimsel Pass

Granite, lakes and dam architecture

A dramatic granite landscape carved by glaciers and shaped by hydro engineering. Long sweeping curves connect three reservoirs in a single climb.

NUFENEN · 2'478 M

Nufenen Pass

Switzerland's second-highest paved pass

Less famous than its neighbours, the Nufenen rewards with vast open vistas and a flowing road profile. The crossing from Valais into Ticino is one of the great alpine transitions.

SUSTEN · 2'224 M

Susten Pass

Engineering masterpiece of the 1940s

Purpose-built as a scenic road, the Susten is famed for its flawless layout, perfectly banked turns and the breathtaking glacier panorama near the summit.

GOTTHARD · 2'106 M

Gotthard Pass

Historic heart of the Alps

The most historic of all Swiss passes. The legendary Tremola — kilometres of original cobblestones winding down the south side — is unmatched anywhere in the Alps.
