PostBus pass journey across the Central Alps
About this place
On the Grimselpass, you pass shimmering reservoirs and enjoy fascinating views. The Nufenenpass is Switzerland’s highest pass open to traffic and sets hearts racing. The Gotthard, known as the «king of the passes», was already one of the most important north-south routes in Roman times. On the way to the Sustenpass, the PostBus crosses no fewer than 25 bridges and drives through just as many tunnels.
