The Furka-Grimsel–Susten Pass Route departs from Andermatt railway station and carries you, on a spectacular 1-day round trip, over three mountain passes. 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 (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).
