Klausen Pass or Klausenpass is a 1948 m. pass in the Swiss Alps connecting the cantons of Uri and Glarus. The pass road from Altdorf leads through the Schächen Valley, the pass and Urnerboden to Linthal in Glarus.
The first section up from Altdorf is mostly scattered villages, with a good surface so it can be pretty fast. From Unterschächen the road narrows and buses and caravans are banned (except the post-bus). It used to be bumpy but has now has a brilliant surface all the way. The eastern side is a wide valley blocked by a steep wall which the road somehow avoids, the road itself is a dream!
We rate this route as medium difficulty
