On day three of the Alpine Marathon 2022, we covered a lot of kilometres but only crossed five passes. In this part of the Alps, the terrain is vast and the passes are a little further apart.
One of them, Pass 1 for the day: the Flüela Pass. It lies between the village of Susch in the east and the world-famous Davos in the west. We travelled it as part of our “7|6|50” tour – over 50 passes in seven days through 6 Alpine countries. The Flüela Pass is extremely varied. The lower section is serpentine, while the upper section takes you through a wide and sweeping, very rocky high valley. This also gives the pass its name. The Swiss-German word “Flueh” means “a rocky area”. This picture shows the pass summit with the Ospizio – 2383 metres above sea level.
