Grand Tour of Switzerland Davos Klosters

Discover one of the most stunning and easily accessible viewpoints on the Grand Tour of Switzerland: the Davos/Klosters vista in Flüela Pass.

Located just a short drive from Davos and Klosters, this spot offers a truly iconic Swiss Alps panorama without requiring a strenuous hike. It's the perfect stop for families, photographers, or anyone seeking a quick dose of breathtaking mountain beauty along this famous touring route.

Flüela Pass: Your Easy Access Grand Tour of Switzerland Viewpoint near Davos/Klosters

The western side of the Flüela Pass provides a spectacular viewpoint right off the main road. After parking, it's just a short walk to the edge where the landscape dramatically unfolds. Look west to capture the sheer scale of the high Alps, and turn your attention north to find a large waterfall plunging down the steep mountainside into the valley below. This spot is a must-see for capturing the essence of Swiss mountain passes and the Graubünden region. A perfect spot for Swiss Alps road trippers!

Davos & Klosters Day Trip Must-Do

If you're basing your stay in the popular resorts of Davos or Klosters, a drive over the Flüela Pass is an essential day trip. The pass itself is an incredible experience, but this particular viewpoint is the highlight. It provides a unique perspective of the surrounding peaks and is an excellent location for sunset photography, offering those spectacular west-facing views.

Parking & Directions: Getting to the Grand Tour of Switzerland Davos/Klosters Viewpoint

Accessibility is key at this location. There are designated parking areas near the viewpoint on the western slope of the pass. From the parking lot, the walk to the prime viewing spot is very short and manageable for almost everyone, hence its universal accessibility. Pack a light jacket, even in summer, as the high-altitude air can be brisk! This is the epitome of an easy Alps photo stop on the Grand Tour of Switzerland.

Important Visitor Information

Seasonal Road Closures: The Flüela Pass road is typically closed during the winter months (approximately late October/November through May) due to heavy snow and avalanche risk. Always check the current road status before planning your trip.

Elevation: Remember you are in a high alpine environment. Even this short walk is at a high elevation, so the air will be cooler and thinner. Dress in layers!

Explore More Flüela Pass Photo Stops

While the western viewpoint is a must-see, the adventure doesn't end there! Make the most of your drive through this spectacular alpine route by adding two more essential roadside attractions to your itinerary. The breathtaking Flüela Pass Falls is a short, dramatic stop to witness a 130-meter tall waterfall. For a tranquil, high-altitude lake setting, pull over at the Lai da la Scotta Viewpoint to admire the crystal-clear waters reflecting the surrounding peaks. These easy-access stops are perfect for adding variety to your photo collection and experiencing the full beauty of the Grand Tour of Switzerland drive through Graubünden.

Beautiful views of the western side of Fluela Pass near Davos. If you're following the Grand Tour of Switzerland road trip signs, do not miss this one. A large waterfall even plummets into the mountain pass just uphill from the lookout point.
