Swiss mountain passes

[FrancisA]

Hi All
This is directed at anyone who has a good knowledge of the surrounding area of the 3 famous passes in Switzerland.

I am planning a drive in June across the Susten/Furka and Grimsel pass.

My dilemma is choosing my base station. I have 2 choices. Interlaken or Disentis/Muster. Both options are lovely, one by the lake and another with a view of the mountains. What is guiding my choice is the route to the passes. There is a slight difference in travel time (an extra 20 mins from Disentis). What I am looking for is someone who is familiar with both areas and can advise which of the bases offers the better more scenic route to the Susten pass.

Thanks

We did the 3 passes back in June. Used the Grimsel Pass Hotel as a base. Stunning views and great food. All 3 passes are less than 15 mins away, in fact you're almost at the top of the Grimsel Pass.

Stopped for a coffee there back in October and looked a lovely place to stay!

I stayed at the Raddison Blu in Andermatt that I also found an excellent base and has underground parking. I’d have no hesitation staying in either. The passes are all pretty close together.

Second Andermatt as a base to explore all 3 passes.
