Grimselpass Overlook
The Grimselpass Overlook offers amazing views over the valley including Lake Grimsel, Grimsel Hospiz, the town of Gletsch, and Räterichsbodensee reservoir. The steepest and the most scenic section of the road starts near Handeck where the road features breathtaking hairpin bends and an 850-m (2,790 ft) tunnel to the Räterichsbodensee reservoir. A few more climbs, and drivers get to the scenic Lake Grimsel and the Grimsel Hospiz. This historic hotel located at 1,980 m (6,500 feet) dates back to 1142. In 1932 it was the first electrically heated hotel in Europe. After Grimsel Hospiz, the final climb features a few more switchbacks and hairpin bends before you get to the top.
