Furka Pass Train Switzerland

Furka Pass in Switzerland is a high mountain pass that is best crossed by the vehicle train in the winter months.

The vehicle train known as the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn crosses through Furka Pass which lies between Oberwald and Realp in Switzerland, Europe. Massive amounts of snow can create problems for winter drivers trying to drive the Furka Pass, so many tourists and locals take the vehicle train to avoid the stress.

The Furka Pass sits at an elevation of 2431 meters through the Swiss Alps of Switzerland. The vehicle train line that runs through the Furka Tunnel opened in 1982 which replaced another tunnel that sat at 2100 meters. Always check the roads first when traveling through the Furka Pass in Switzerland as winter conditions can cause these passes to close and the only way through is by taking the vehicle train.
