SWISSVIEW's video: SWISSVIEW VS Furkapassstrasse

@SWISSVIEW, VS Furkapassstrasse
Der Furkapass (2‘429 m ü. M.) verbindet das Urserental, den höchsten Abschnitt des Reusstals, im Kanton Uri mit dem Goms (Rhonetal) im Kanton Wallis. Er bildet die europäische Wasserscheide zwischen Nordsee und Mittelmeer. Im Winter bleibt der Pass geschlossen. Ein Autoverlad zwischen Realp im Urserental (nach Andermatt) und Oberwald (im Obergoms) ermöglicht dennoch eine Verbindung zwischen den beiden Bergkantonen. Auf der Westseite befindet sich auf 2'272 m ü. M. das Hotel Belvédère, ein idealer Ausgangspunkt zur Besichtigung des Rhonegletschers und der Eisgrotte. Von 1925 bis 1981 fuhr die Furka-Oberalp-Bahn auf einer nicht wintersicheren Zahnradstrecke durch den höchsten Alpentunnel der Schweiz (2‘160 m ü. M.). 2010 wurde die Dampfbahn-Furka-Bergstrecke wiedereröffnet. Für den James Bond Klassiker Goldfinger wurden 1964 am Furkapass einige Filmszenen gedreht (mit Sean Connery, Gert Fröbe u.a.) ============ The Furka Pass (2,429 m above sea level) connects the Urserental valley, the highest section of the valley of the Reuss, in the canton of Uri with the district of Goms (Rhone Valley) in the canton of Valais. It forms the European Watershed between the North Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. The pass is closed during the winter season. A car shuttle train between Realp in the Urserental valley (north of Andermatt) and Oberwald (in the Obergoms), however, allows a connection between the two mountain cantons. The Hotel Belvédère lies at the western side at 2,272 m above sea level and is an ideal starting point for visits to the Rhone Glacier and the ice grotto. From 1925 to 1981, the Furka-Oberalp-Bahn ran through the Switzerland's highest Alpine tunnel (2,160 m above sea level) in a cogwheel line which was not winterproof. 2010 saw the reopening of the Furka Cogwheel Steam Railway. In 1964, the Furka Pass was the setting for some scenes of the James Bond classic movie "Goldfinger" (with Sean Connery, Gert Fröbe etc.).
