Thanks for your rating
On the Furka and Grimsel Pass you have plenty of time to stop and capture panoramic views of the stunning mountain world (PostBus stops Belvedere Furka and Grimsel Passhöhe) – And during a 1-hour stop in Meiringen, time to marvel at even more stunning scenery, as well as enjoy a bite of lunch (PostBus stop Meiringen, Bahnhof).

The top of the Furka Pass reveals breathtaking sights of the Gotthard Massif and the Urserental valley –and from here the awe inspiring journey continues on the pass road to Valais, passing the Rhone Glacier on the way. Those keen to experience another pretty cool feature shouldn’t miss out on a visit to the yearly-newly-built glacial grotto by the Hotel Belvédère (PostBus stop Belvedere Furka) – and the Grimsel Pass reveals more unique sights, including artificial lakes that glisten in the bright light. (PostBus stop Grimsel Passhöhe).

On the way to the Susten Pass you cross no less than 25 bridges and 25 tunnels, after which, on viewing the famous Stein Glacier , you may well ask yourself how many more stunning sights could any single ride anywhere in the world possibly reveal! (PostBus stop Steingletscher, Susten).
