Susten Pass
Innertkirchen → Wassen
46 km · Jun – Oct · Moderate
The third of the Grimsel–Furka–Susten trio, and the one people skip. A clean 2,224 m, a glacier wall, and a road built like it was meant to be looked at. It was.
Viewpoints
Susten summit
2,224 m. The Stein glacier. A café that knows why you stopped.

- Road
- Excellent tarmac, motorcycle traffic on weekends, closed in winter. The east side toward Wassen is the tighter drawing. Motorbikes in packs on Saturdays.
- Permits
- A vignette if you touch the motorway getting there. The pass itself is free. Check opening — snow decides.
Tips
- 01
Do all three, Susten last
Grimsel and Furka are the famous pair. Susten is quieter. Keep it for the afternoon.

Not a Sunday in August

Innertkirchen to Wassen. The east side is the drawing. Closed the week before for snow. June, and still cold at the café.
