Gurnigel Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Gurnigel is a great way to get started in the beautiful world of passes. You drive up a steep incline for a long time and you have to pace yourself.
The journey from Bern doesn't take as long as other passes. At the top you are rewarded with a beautiful view of Lake Thun and the surrounding mountains.
