The Furka Pass is a 2,429 m high Swiss road pass in the Alps. It connects the Urseren Valley (the upper valley of the Reuss River) in the canton of Uri with the Goms district in the canton of Valais. It straddles the European watershed between the Mediterranean Sea and the North Sea. Source: Furka Pass – Wikipedia https://share.google/zJGI3KsPRtARfpYje

The classic ascent to the Furka Pass is the eastern route from Realp, which is also often used in the Tour de Suisse. At the edge of Realp, you pass the access point for the historic Furka Railway and can already see the adventurous road climbing upwards. It quickly becomes clear that this pass is by no means an easy one, as the lower section, which is winding, boasts double-digit gradients.

not too long, not too technical

Beautiful Alpine mountain lake (swimming possible)

How did this lighthouse get here? Great photo opportunity

A place to linger

You've conquered the Nufenen Pass (Passo della Novena) by the road sign at an altitude of 2,477 meters. The pass also marks the cantonal border between Valais and Ticino. The pass is one of the youngest mountain passes in Switzerland, having only been built in 1964 and opened five years later. As the highest pass located entirely within Switzerland, it offers a special attraction for road cyclists. However, the approach from both sides is challenging, steep and often windy. Both routes involve over 1,000 meters of elevation gain. Since it's located far from any major towns, chances are your legs will already be a bit tired by the time the climbs begin.

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.
