The view during the descent towards Gletsch is breathtakingly beautiful. However, you should concentrate on the ride and avoid letting your gaze wander.

Grimsel Pass Road – Final Section

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Both the smaller Räterichsbodensee and the imposing Grimselsee are not of natural origin, but are dammed and used to generate energy. Nevertheless, they blend well into the landscape and provide a few wow moments.

Descent from Grimsel Pass

Incredible descent with stunning views. Even in summer there was still ice on the lakes at the top!

Grimsel Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

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.

View of the Grimsel and Furka Pass roads

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here it's easy to go downhill. In Gletsch you have to decide: left up to the Furka pass to Realp (Uri) or right down to Oberwald in beautiful Goms (Valais).
