Gurnigel Pass, Mountain pass in Bern, Switzerland.

Gurnigel Pass is a mountain crossing in the canton of Bern, Switzerland, sitting at 1,608 meters (5,276 feet) and linking the villages of Riggisberg and Zollhaus. The road runs through open meadows and forested slopes, crossing between two administrative districts.

The road over the Gurnigel was built in stages: the lower section from Dürrbach past the Gurnigelbad hotel was upgraded in 1872 on the initiative of hotel owner Johann Jakob Hauser, and the stretch over Berghaus, Stierenhütte and Wasserscheidi followed in the 1920s. A hill climb for motor vehicles ran on the gravel road from 1910 to 1931 and resumed in 1968 on the paved course.

The name Gurnigel goes back to the Latin corniculum, "little horn", one of the region's oldest place names. In winter a ski lift runs on the Wasserscheidi and another at the Hotel Gurnigelbad, and cross-country ski trails are groomed across the region. Amateur astronomers also hold one or more stargazing nights on the pass each year.

The road over the pass is paved and open throughout the year, though snow and icy curves are common in winter at this elevation. Walkers and cyclists should check weather conditions before heading up, as they can change quickly.

The pass hosts the Bergrennen Gurnigel, a hill climb for cars and motorcycles held in September. First run from 1910 to 1931 on gravel, it resumed in 1968 on the paved road; the 3,734 m course from Dürrbach to Gurnigelbad climbs 314 m. Robin Faustini set the 2024 record in 1:38.79, about 136 km/h average.
