View of the Grimsel and Furka Pass roads

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here it's easy to go downhill. In Gletsch you have to decide: left up to the Furka pass to Realp (Uri) or right down to Oberwald in beautiful Goms (Valais).

Beautiful climb in two stages (stop at the Gletsch refreshment stop) to reach the Grimsel. Already very tired - but happy - we tell ourselves that given our program to follow, doing the Furka would be too much. In any case, we get our fill of beautiful climbs and splendid panoramas. And the descent, wow, splendid.
