The Furka is Switzerland's most honest pass. No drama, no gimmicks — just 36 tight corners climbing to 2,429m on tarmac that's been resurfaced on the lower section. If you've seen Goldfinger, you already know the view from the top. If you haven't, the real thing is better. Open mid-June to late October depending on snow. No toll. Leave before 9am in summer or the tourist buses own it. The south side from Gletsch is the better drive — steeper, tighter, and the Rhône glacier is right there.
