Furka Pass from Realp is one of the most iconic climbs in the Swiss Alps. Steep hairpins and long open stretches make it a demanding ride, but the views keep you going all the way up.
At the 2,429 metre summit, the high Alps open up around you. On the descent towards Gletsch, you’ll pass the famous Hotel Belvédère hairpin, with the Rhône Glacier right behind it. Stop here for the photo you simply have to take when you ride the Furka.
