Three notes regarding this video and a visit of the Holy Trinity: - If you plan to visit these passes, try to not do it on a weekend. They can get really crowded. If you pick a weekend go early! I did this trip on a Thursday afternoon in September - that's why the roads are so empty. - The passes only open in June and mostly close early October (sometimes even September) - due to the high alltitude it can always snow and be pretty cold. - Flying a drone at Hotel Belvedere is meanhwile prohibited. The shots you see in this video are the only ones that are not from September 2021, but from early 2020 when flying a drone was still allowed (that's why they are so short, my drone flying skills were still not so good back then... ;) )

@got2go What do you think about the nufenenpass compered to this three? :p
Perfektes Timing auf dieser Tour. Diese drei Pässe sind wirklich perfekt. Ich habe mich dort in den 2000er-Jahren immer wieder mit meinen Velos hoch- und runter gekämpft. Rennvelo oder MTB mit Strassenreifen. MTB letztlich besser wegen dem Gepäck für diese langen Tagestouren (bis 15 Stunden) ab Bern via Thun, Interlaken, Brienz und Innertkirchen über Grimsel, Furka und Oberalp und die Surselva runter bis Tavanasa. Oder auch mal über den Susten und dann Oberalp und die Surselva runter. Heimfahrt in die andere Richtung. Aber mit der Bahn bis Oberalp Passhöhe und dann Furka und Grimsel. Immer ein gigantisches Erlebnis.
Just amazing. Thank you😊
Absolutely breathtaking!

I enjoyed that more than expected partly because my first time over the Furka was alone in the dark and fog so seeing the great views again was refreshing. Thanks Harry
I rode those passes on my bike, starting on the Grimsel, then Furka and finally the Susten. Fantastic scenery, great roads, I'll never forget that day.
Very nice places - pretty nice ride!!

Wow i loved this vid and all the effort you put in it to tell your story as well. I drove these passes in 2018 and i loved the Susten the most BY FAR! I drove them around the same time and circumstances as you did. And its just magical. Especially with the sun going down. I’m currently planning to go there again at the end of this summer with my dad. I want to show him the most beautiful roads of Switzerland! I’m using this vid for sure to visit some local places! So thanks for that!

I was waiting for your video of this part of Switzerland. As you said these mountain passes are beautiful and very nice to ride. I agree. At the first time I came to this area from Hospental and second time from Obergoms. When I came via Furkapass I stopped to the view point. That sight just blow my mind when I saw all curves of Furkapass and Grimselpass at the same time. That`s why I came back to this are a few years later. Thank`s for sharing.

Thank you for sharing. Your video rekindled fond memories of our auto road trip in August 1984. From Interlaken we drove over Grimsel pass, stopped to view St Christoper Chapel; we then went up the Furka pass, stopping to walk into the Rhone glacier which then was much further out, and the Belvedere hotel was still open. From Adermatt we drove up and over Operalp pass and continuing down the upper Rhine valley. Though we did not drive the Susten pass, from your video I agree it seemed the most scenic with groves of pine forests like bonsai gardens, waterfalls, and short tunnels through granite outcrops; my model railroad display that following Christmas looked similar! Danke!
