Aurafreida

Aurafreida is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 2.160m (7,086ft) above the sea level, located in the district of Bernina in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland.

The road to the summit starts asphalted, but suddenly turns into gravel. It’s steep and very narrow. There are some narrow sections -scarcely wide enough for one car- where if two vehicles have to pass each other, one might have to reverse for some kilometers of winding narrow road to get to a place wide enough to pass. It is subject to winter snowfalls with such a high summit altitude, and the road can be closed anytime when the access is not cleared of snow.
