A bare, beautiful pass between Davos and the Engadin.

The Flüela Pass at 2,383 m links Davos and Susch in the Lower Engadin, a high, treeless crossing past two small lakes beneath the Flüela Schwarzhorn. Wide, fast and scenic; carry warm clothes, watch for snow late into spring, and mind the cyclists on the long climbs.
