The Susten Pass on main road 11 connects the canton of Uri with the canton of Bern. The pass road is 45 kilometers long and is one of the newer ones in the Swiss Alps. It was only built between 1938 and 1945. Because it is primarily used for tourism, it is generally only open from June to October.

The new Susten road from 1945 begins in Wassen on the northern ramp of the Gotthard Pass and, unlike the old Susten road from 1817, leads past the villages in the Meiental with a maximum gradient of nine percent. Unlike the old Susten road at 2,224 m above sea level, the pass summit (2,259 m above sea level) is crossed under in a summit tunnel. On the western ramp in the Bernese Oberland, the descent also goes past the Steingletscher at a gradient of nine percent through the towns of Gadmen, Fuhren and Nessental in the Gadmertal.

Highest point on the road: 2,224 meters.

West ramp from Innertkirchen: 27 kilometers, 1,600 meters elevation gain, maximum 10%, average 5.9%.

East ramp from Wassen: 17.7 kilometers, 1,308 meters elevation gain, maximum 9%, average 7.4%.

Old Grimsel Pass Road

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Since the tunnel on the Grimsel Pass road is only accessible by bike downhill, you'll have to take the old pass road. However, it's not a must, as the path, part of which is cobblestone, is much more beautiful and spectacular anyway.

Those who are up here, it's best to also do a circular tour around the Totensee and enjoy the wonderful reflections on the water surface.

Furka Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Furkapasshöhe is at 2,436 meters and is a popular destination for hikers, cyclists and drivers. Not far is the Hotel Furkablick, which has seen its prime, is slowly decaying and yet remains a charming photo motif. There is currently a bus stop there.

Roll out the narrow tires once a year, otherwise they will become brittle. Mandatory program for 2024 fulfilled 😉

The Susten and Nufenen passes are currently closed at night from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. When we started at 1 p.m., that was a certain stress factor 😊
Susten was OK. Pleasant gradient, foggy but dry and hardly any traffic …

Grimsel, Furka, Susten: The drive over these Swiss passes (2165 meters, 2436 meters and 2224 meters) is a much-driven and much-described classic. There are higher and more exotic passes. But in the combination of route and view, this tour is hard to beat. Therefore a new description at this point. There are, slightly different from the set, driven GPS file, …

If you want to do the tour without a backpack, there are lockers in Andermatt. The CHF 5 fee can be easily paid with your EC card. The pastries are then triggered using a QR code. A good thing😉👍

I must admit, I felt unsatisfied after yesterday's flop 😂 and had a big hunger for something special 🤩 Although the weather forecast for today was not perfect, I just jumped on the train to Göschenen at 6 am, believing that all will be fine ☀️💪
It was still a bit dark when I started cycling, and light rain, wet …
