The Gotthard–Nufenen–Furka Pass route starts and ends in Andermatt and crosses three of the most beautiful Swiss mountain passes via countless hairpin bends.
The Gotthard, also known as the “King of Mountain Passes”, is reached via an impressive mountain road offering views of the historic route (PostBus stop Gotthard Pass). Even in Roman times, the pass was already a major North-South connection.
At the top of the Nufenen Pass you have enough time to enjoy the fantastic views with leisure (PostBus stop Nufenen Pass). The impressive mountain panorama on the Nufenen Pass beckons to stay and linger a while (PostBus stop Nufenen Pass). At an altitude of 2478 meters it is the highest road across the Swiss Alps. Be sure to take time for a light lunch during the stop in Gletsch and explore the area, which includes the nostalgic Furka steam railway and much more.
The views of the Gotthard mountain range and the Urseren Valley from the top of the Furka Pass are breathtaking. From there the road continues past the Rhone Glacier and into the Valais region.
