Splügen

Highlight • Settlement

The southern Swiss town of Splügen was and is a typical mountain pass village. Then as now, merchants, artists and tourists stopped here before continuing on their way north or south. Before the construction of the Bernardino and Gotthard tunnels, the Splügen Pass was the only direct transfer route to the south. Old warehouses and customs posts still characterize the times of yesteryear.

You can live particularly peacefully and eat very, very well in the “Hotel Bodenhaus”. It is rumored that Napoleon, Queen Victoria and Albert lived here. More information: hotel-bodenhaus.ch.

Italy–Switzerland Border Stone

Highlight • Monument

Since, as is often the case, the pass signs are completely covered with stickers, taking photos in front of them is no longer fun. Alternatively, you can use the boundary stone to take a "proof photo." On the other side of the road, there's another, smaller stone with the elevation: 2113 m.

Lago di Montespluga

Highlight • Lake

The lake was formed by the construction of two dams, one of which bears the date 1931 (which suggests that it was built during the fascist era, as part of the major works policy). Situated at an altitude of 1901m, it offers the opportunity for a break before finishing the ascent of the pass.

Hairpin Bends of Via del Bernina

Highlight • Trail

Driving through these tunnels is a real highlight, but lights and a safety vest are recommended, as the tunnels are not lit!

August 30, 2022,Splügenpass - Chiavenna und retour

Yes, first downhill today, then uphill. My journey was long enough...
The entire route is in very good condition for racing bikes. Light doesn't hurt as there are over a dozen galleries and tunnels, some well lit, some less so.
From Chiavenna it goes uphill with 7-10%. In the Italian 🇮🇹 midday heat that's not optimal, but the heat training …
