Furka-Grimsel-Susten: The ultimate motorbike tour through the Swiss Alps
Many tourists and motorcyclists often start at the Susten Pass. Our tip for bikers: Beginning with Furka and Grimsel, then take the Susten Pass. Guaranteed to be more fun, as the bends are even better from the side and there is usually less traffic. Basically, it's a good idea to drive into the mountains during the week. You generally have fewer vehicles, but above all fewer campers and „Sunday drivers“. If that's not possible for you, then make sure you start very, very early or drive towards the evening.
