Enjoy the third stage of Route 1291, as two world-famous passes that you will ride on represent two further route highlights on the day's program. From Andermatt, you cycle through the untouched Ursern Valley, pass Realp, and then reach the Furka Pass. Via the Grimsel Pass, you race down to Meiringen at 595 meters above sea level. Shortly before, you pass the Aare Gorge, which is worth a detour.
Route length: approx. 70 km | ascent 1500 m | descent 2340 m
