  Flüela Pass Location in the Alps | |
Flüela Pass (elevation 2,383 m (7,818 ft)) is a high mountain pass in the Swiss Alps in the canton of Graubünden. The road connects Davos and Susch in the lower Engadin valley.
Since the Vereina Tunnel opened in 1999, the road is no longer guaranteed to be open all year.
An NGO, Pro Flüela Verein, was established in 1990 to extend the opening outside the summer months. It raises money from membership fees, and grants from the cantonal government and local communes[1]
