The Grimsel Pass is a mountain pass in Switzerland that crosses the Bernese Alps at an elevation of 2,164 metres (7,100 ft). It connects the Haslital, the upper valley of the river Aare, with the upper valley of the Rhône. A 38-kilometre (24 mi) paved road between Gletsch and Meiringen follows the pass; owing to high snowfall, this road is generally closed between October and May. This panoramic photograph of the Grimsel Pass was taken in June 2011. The two lakes visible in the image are the Grimselsee (foreground) and the Räterichsbodensee (background).
