Susten Pass & Stein Glacier
Sustenpass
One of Switzerland's most beautiful mountain roads. On the west side, the Steingletscher and its glacier lake lie close to the road. It is often combined with the Furka and Grimsel passes in a loop.
Susten Pass rises to 2,224 m, linking the Meiental valley in Uri with the Hasli Valley in Bern. The road, completed in 1946, has graceful curves and many tunnels. On the west side, the Steingletscher and its proglacial lake lie right beside the road, and you can park near Hotel Steingletscher and walk to the lake. From Andermatt, it takes about an hour by car via Wassen to reach the Meiental. Postal buses run in summer. There are many bends, and motorcycles gather on weekends, so drive carefully.
