St. Gothard Pass, Furka Pass, Grimsel Pass, Switzerland, 19th of August 2025 - day 2 of the roadtrip from Slovenia to (South East) Switzerland to Italian Dolomites and back

A perfect day of the roadtrip from Slovenia to (South East) Switzerland to Italian Dolomites and back.

Day 2 (of 8) of the road trip.

Start in Locarno, on Lake Maggiore, then the first pass St. Gothard, (2000 m). Pictures 1-5.

Next is the Furka Pass (2400 m), Pictures 6-14. Famous for the Bond film Goldfinger (1964).

Then the Grimsel Pass (2100 m) with a beautiful dammed lake. Pictures 15-19.

The day ended in Interlaken on Brienzersee/Thunersee.

One of the most beautiful days of the road trip, the passes follow one after the other. There are not many kilometers to drive, about 250, of which 70-80 are in the mountains, but you stop constantly for the views. Of course, you are at the mercy of the weather and on that day it was almost perfect.
