Furka Passhöhe, Mountain pass tourism office in Realp, Switzerland
The Furka Pass tourism office provides information about the alpine route connecting Realp and Oberwald at 2,436 meters above sea level.
The pass gained importance in the 14th century as a crucial connection between Valais and the Gotthard route, evidenced by Bronze Age artifacts.
Johann Wolfgang Goethe crossed the pass in 1779 with Duke Carl August of Weimar, marking a significant moment in the location's literary history.
The tourism office operates seasonally from June to October, offering detailed information about road conditions, weather updates, and available accommodations.
In 1914, over 19,000 travelers used post coaches to cross the pass, leading to the introduction of yellow post buses in 1921.
