Furgge pass is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 2.451m above the sea level, located in Breithorn, a mountain in the Pennine Alps, located close to the Matterhorn in Switzerland.
The road to reach the pass is one of the most difficult in the Alps to climb, and most of the road is only gravel. 
The chapel of Santa Maria of the Snow on the Furgge Pass, high up on the Breithorn, is a simple east-facing building made of rough stone masonry. Built atop a gently domed hill, the chapel rises over the mountain huts around it. When the rings were counted in the ridge beam and in the ceiling joists in October 2007, it was established that the chapel was built in 1662.
To reach the pass there are 2 possible ways. Starting in Grengiols, at an elevation of 995m above the sea level, the path its 12km length. And starting in Heiligkreuz, at an elevation of 1.458m, the path is 13km length.
