The High Triple: Susten - Grimsel - Furka

The route starts with a first highlight: From Andermatt, it leads through the impressive Schöllenen Gorge down to Wassen – past steep rock walls, the roaring Reuss River, and the legendary Devil's Bridge. The first climb follows through the Meien Valley up to the Susten Pass. The view of the Steingletscher makes every turn worthwhile. At the top, a scenic descent awaits to Innertkirchen. After a short flat section, the second climb begins: Curve by curve it goes through forested terrain up to the Grimsel Pass. Lake Grimsel invites for a short pause, and with some luck, marmots can be seen among the rocks. Pass two out of three is done! In Gletsch follows the final climb to the Furka Pass – a classic among Alpine passes. The landscape is rough, barren, and impressive. Shortly before the pass summit, the iconic Hotel Belvédère is passed. After reaching the summit, expansive views open into the Ursern Valley. In one of the following hairpin bends, the famous James Bond Curve, known from the movie Goldfinger, awaits. From here, the route heads rapidly downhill, through Realp and the Ursern Valley floor, back to Andermatt.
