Furka Pass, Switzerland

Furka Pass, Switzerland

James Bond chased Goldfinger along the Furka in an Aston Martin DB5, and the road remains pure cinema: 2,429 metres of sweeping curves with the Rhône glacier hanging above the western ramp. Stop at the derelict, faded Hotel Belvédère on its famous hairpin for the photo everyone wants. String it together with the Grimsel and Susten passes for the classic Swiss three-pass loop, comfortably done in a day from Andermatt.
