Situated at an elevation of 2,224 meters above sea level, it serves as a vital transport link between the cantons of Uri and Bern. Unlike many older Alpine routes that evolved from ancient mule tracks, the Susten Pass road was primarily constructed between 1938 and 1945. It was the first pass in the Alps to be designed specifically for vehicular tourism, prioritizing sweeping curves and moderate gradients to enhance the driving experience and showcase the surrounding natural beauty. The pass is renowned for its dramatic landscape, characterized by rugged granite peaks and the prominent Stein Glacier, which remains visible from several vantage points along the western ascent. At the summit, a 300-meter tunnel pierces the ridge, marking the boundary between the two cantons. The Susten Pass is generally open from June to October, though heavy snowfall often dictates a seasonal closure during the winter months. Its modern engineering and scenic vistas make it a cornerstone of the popular "Three Passes" tour, a circuit that also includes the nearby Furka and Grimsel passes, attracting thousands of motorists, cyclists, and hikers annually. 00:00 Intro 01:07 Innertkirchen 03:22 Wyler 09:20 Nessental 14:36 Fuhren 16:38 Gadmen 17:44 Obermaad bei Gadmen 32:14 Steingletcher 38:24 Susten Pass summit 52:22 Meien 58:51 Wassen
