Purchase Nufenen pass in Switzerland (Switzerland)

Cycling though the Alps is tough but also rewarding - it offers splendid views on the mountains.
Obviously, I went to Switzerland especially in the time in which I still cycled the mountains. I kept all the records of the mountain passes I climbed and there is only one pass of over 2,000 metres left which I did not climb! Of all the tours I made, I select one from the heart of the country to Nice, France. Not in a direct line, but following the ridge of the Alps. The first pass was the Susten, then I climbed Grimsel, Furka and Gotthard all on one day. The second day included Nufenen and Great St. Bernard, which is where I left Switzerland. The pictures you can see here were taken on that tour. A fragment from my diary: "The snow walls next to me are getting higher and higher, they are now higher even than the busses on the road. I feel smaller and smaller in comparison."
