Spectacular Convertible Routes at the Furka Pass

The road over the Furka Pass is considered one of the most impressive convertible routes in Europe. It connects the Valais with the canton of Uri, taking you through a dramatic high mountain landscape, past steep rock faces, glaciers, and snow-covered peaks. The section around the Hotel Belvedere is particularly famous and became world-renowned thanks in part to a scene in the James Bond film "Goldfinger."
