Switzerland's most beautifully engineered pass.
The Susten Pass at 2,224 m between Innertkirchen and Wassen is often called the most beautifully built road in Switzerland, smooth, flowing curves with galleries and a glacier view near the top. Superb to drive; watch for bikes, coaches and snow late into the season.
