The San Bernardino Pass is an Alpine pass in the canton of Graubünden, in southeastern Switzerland. It reaches an altitude of 2063 m. above sea level and is located on the watershed between the Po basin and the Rhine basin.

At the village of San Bernardino, on the southern side (7 km before the Pass), there is the entrance of the highway tunnel (completed in 1967 and 6.6 km long), which ends at Hinterrhein, in the Rhine valley, and avoids climbing to the pass.

The actual climb begins near Soazza (500m.) And lasts for 25 km with a vertical drop of 1,500 meters and an average gradient of 6%.

The final stretch is dotted with lovely small ponds and glacial streaks and ends with the magnificent Moesola mountain lake.

Just before the steep descent to Hinterrhein there is the Hospiz St. Bernhardin (today a Gasthaus).

San Bernardino is located south of the San Bernardino Pass at an altitude of 1600 meters on the south portal of the San Bernardino tunnel on the A13 road. Italian is spoken in San Bernardino. The Moësa that flows from the San Bernardino Pass flows through San Bernardino.

Very nice descent from San Bernardino to the south. You can always see how the new street meanders with its bridge structures.
