Lukmanier Pass
416Disentis/Mustér to Olivone
A low main Alpine watershed crossing, Disentis to Ticino.
The Lukmanier Pass (1,915 m) carries main road 416 from Disentis in the Vorderrhein valley over the central Alps toward Biasca in Ticino, the lowest of the Swiss main passes crossing the principal Alpine watershed. The well-graded road runs past the Lai da Sontga Maria reservoir through gentle serpentines, with a maximum gradient of about 9%. It is kept open in most winters but frequently closes overnight and after heavy snow, so winter tyres and weather checks are essential.
