Climbed in mid-September after doing the Gotthard Pass, on a beautiful day. Short ascent and not at all demanding, the view of the valley is wide and unmissable. I found no water fountains on the route.... read more

The Oberalp Pass is incomparably more beautiful from the Grisons side. The road from Andermatt - where the pass actually begins, not in Göschenen as shown here - is very wide and the cars and motorbikes drive correspondingly fast.

Die Strasse von Andermatt – wo der Pass ja eigentlich beginnt, nicht in Göschenen, wie hier dargestellt – ist halt sehr breit und entsprechend schnell fahren die Autos und Motorräder. Im oberen Teil geht es noch «flach» hinter zum Pass – das zieht sich und ist hart. Und bei Gegenwind noch mehr …

Salito a metà settembre dopo aver fatto il passo del Gottardo, in una giornata stupenda. Salita corta e per nulla impegnativa, la vista sulla valle è ampia e imperdibile. Non ho trovato fontane sul percorso.
