Flüela Pass is a high mountain road at an altitude of 2383 m that connects Davos to Susch. The road goes up and down with winding curves that will put your driving skills to the test. It is a charming walk located in the heart of the Swiss Alps in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland that remains open between May and October. Since the opening of the Vereina railway tunnel in 1999, which connects Klosters with Sagliains in the Engadine, the pass has been closed during winter.
Flüela Pass, the road that is sure to take your breath away, has a fearsome reputation, was awarded number 4 of the 25 best roads in the world by a team of experts. However, surprisingly, the Flüela Pass is the only Swiss road that has been classified! The evaluation was carried out according to scientific methods... cornering, accelerating, driving and braking are the four stages of a good car driving experience.
Flüela Pass is extremely important for the region especially for Davos, Europe's highest city, famous for hosting the World Economic Forum, a great mountain holiday destination and health resort.
During the 13th century the region and the pass gained importance as a trade route. Spearheads have been found, which proves that Passo Flüela was already in use during the Bronze Age. Goods produced in the Engadine region were transported by mules to Tyrol to be traded mainly for salt. The road as we know it today was built in 1867 to allow stagecoaches to pass through.
