Susten Postbus pass ride from Andermatt or Meiringen

From Meiringen, take the Postbus on route 162 and pass the Aare Gorge on your way to Andermatt. After Innertkirchen and Gadmen, you are already at the top of the Susten Pass. From up here, you have a wonderful view of the Steinsee lake and the Steingletscher glacier. Sometimes the landscape seems almost mystical.

The pass is at 2259 m above sea level, and it's another 800 meters downhill to Andermatt. On the way, you have a beautiful view of the valley with the Reuss at Wassen.

The spectacular view is of the Steinsee lake and the Steingletscher glacier as well as the surrounding mountains. The lake and glacier are best seen on the right-hand side in the direction of Andermatt. The pass road is 45 kilometres long and has a gradient of 9% on both sides.

• The Postbuses are generally equipped for the transportation of wheelchairs. The door for wheelchair access has a corresponding symbol.
• The Postbus between Meiringen and Andermatt has an integrated lift that is operated by the driver (no advance notice required). This is marked as HL in the SBB timetable.

• Small dogs up to 30 cm are free of charge if they remain in a transport container for the entire journey. This must be pushed under your seat.
• Dogs without a container and all dogs over 30 cm shoulder height require a valid dog ticket: half the price of 2nd class or the minimum fare (Dog Day Pass, Dog Pass). They must sit under the seat so that the passageway is not blocked for other passengers.
