Meiringen–Grimsel Pass–Nufenen Pass

Passing a series of reservoirs and blooming Alpine meadows, you travel up to the Grimsel Pass, where you will be rewarded with magnificent views. From the village of Gletsch the journey continues toward the Nufenen Pass. At an altitude of 2,478 metres above sea-level, the highest Alpine crossing entirely on Swiss territory connects the cantons of Valais and Ticino.

Nufenenpass–Gotthardpass–Andermatt

The next destination on our way is the Gotthard Pass. This one must not be missed on our 4-Pass Tour. It's also known as the “King of Passes” and still the most widely used northsouth link in Europe today. Experience the thrilling and impressive ascent to its summit, take a look at the historic pass road and enjoy the following descent past Andermatt, the Schöllenen Gorge and the Devil’s Bridge, which according to legend was built with the help of Lucifer himself, hence its name.

Andermatt–Sustenpass–Meiringen

Through varied scenery, including waterfalls, imposing mountain ranges and a spectacular world of glaciers, you travel up to the Susten Pass. The pass links two pristine mountain valleys, the Meiental and the Gadmental, and takes you back to Meiringen.

Our top tips along the route:

Aare gorge:
Over thousands of years, the waters of the young Aare have gradually eroded away the rock between Innertkirchen and Meiringen, forming the present gorge with its nooks, caves and hollows. Today you can traverse this 200-metre-deep gorge safely and comfortably via a 1,400-metre footpath. For more information, go to: www.aareschlucht.ch

La Claustra:
This former fortress set deep in the mountainside is now a unique hotel providing a stunning location for seminars on the Gotthard Pass. For more information go to: www.claustra.ch
