San Bernardino Pass, Switzerland

Another nice riding route is over the San Bernardino Pass (2,065m), a high mountain pass in the Swiss Alps connecting the Hinterrhein and the Mesolcina (Misox) valleys between Thusis (Graubünden) and Bellinzona (Ticino). Located in the far eastern side of the Western Alps it should not be confused with the Great St. Bernard Pass and the Little St. Bernard Pass. The top of the pass represents both the Italo-German language frontier and the watershed (drainage divide) between the basin and the Rhine basin. This road tunnel is considerably less prone to traffic jams than the St. Gotthard Tunnel, but a speed limit of 80 km/h (50 mph) is in force, and this is enforced by many speed-check cameras, so take it easy here.
