Albula Pass (also called Passo dell’Albula) is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 2.315m (7,595ft) above the sea level, located in the Albula Range of the Alps, in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland. The pass is open from June to October. The road on the Albula Pass was constructed in 1865, and at that time was the most important north-south connection in Graubünden. The Albulapass starts from the Davos road in farmland in a valley, and has an almost constant set of corners until the gorge just before Bergün. After that the road gets worse. It ends up a very narrow, steep and bumpy road through the trees. The steep section is relatively short. This is a very varied pass road. Trees, rocks, hairpins and sweepers. Don’t forget your camera! Nowadays, this pass has very little traffic, because cars and trucks prefer the Julier Pass. The surface of the road is asphalt, and chains or snow tyres can be required anytime.
