The Simplon Pass (French:Col du Simplon; German:Simplonpass; Italian:Passo del Sempione) (2,005m or 6,578ft) is a high mountain pass between the Pennine Alps and the Lepontine Alps in Switzerland. It connects Brig in the canton of Valais with Domodossola in Piedmont (Italy). The pass itself and the villages on each side of it, such as Gondo, are in Switzerland. The Simplon Tunnel was built beneath the vicinity of the pass in the early 20th century to carry rail traffic between the two countries.
The lowest point of the col, and the lowest point on the watershed between the basins of the Rhone and the Po in Switzerland lies in marshland about 500m (1,640ft) west of the Simplon Pass settlement at an altitude of 1,994m or 6,542ft.
Rotelsee is a lake located near the pass at an elevation of 2,028m (6,654ft).
History
There has been a locally used passage through the mountains here for several centuries, but the pass acquired international significance during the Napoleonic occupation. Between 1801 and 1805 the Simplon Road was constructed by the engineer Nicolas Céard at the direction of the emperor in order to transport artillery pieces through the pass between the Rhône valley and Italy. Since then, the pass has been usable by post carriages, replaced early in the twentieth century by post buses.
Join me in a trip over the Simplon Pass from Brig (VS) Switzerland to Iselle, Italy.

Simplon pass Switzerland
From Brig, the road takes you over lengthy curves up the mountain. Halfway up, the Ganter Bridge crosses the Ganter Valley. The bold design of this modern bridge fits harmoniously into the countryside. At 2005 meters, on the summit of the pass, stands the Hospiz of the Bernardine monks. An eight-meter-high stone eagle reminds visitors of World War II.

Driving in Switzerland and Italy: The Simplon Pass (H9, SS33, E62)
#Switzerland #E62 #VRTLtravel
In this video you can drive along on the H9 - SS33 (E62) across the Simplon Pass from Switzerland to Italy. The footage is from 2020 so my apologies in advance for the reflections here and there.

Because it navigates across such challenging terrain, the A9 is both a very expensive and time-consuming motorway to build.

It doesn't help that the traffic numbers are relatively low compared to other motorways in Switzerland so it doesn't have such a high priority.
The H9 is nonetheless an important connection in the South of Switzerland, connecting to the SS33 across the border in Italy. The Simplon Pass has a max altitude of 2005 meters (6578 ft), reached on the Swiss side of the mountain pass. I also put in some raw uncut drone footage to give you a better view of the surroundings and scenery.
Across the border the road is signed SS33 and ultimately turns into a 2x2 expressway that runs passed Lago Maggiore in the Southern direction towards Milano. It will then merge into the combined Autostrada A8 / A26.

Brig--Simplon--Gondo--Iselle--Domodossola
Take a trip on the Simplon Pass Route, trace the footsteps of Napoleon, and experience an unforgettable journey from Mediterranean-like Domodossola via the Simplon Pass to the Alpine town of Brig.
The Simplon Pass (French:Col du Simplon; German:Simplonpass; Italian:Passo del Sempione) (2,005m or 6,578ft) is a high mountain pass between the Pennine Alps and the Lepontine Alps in Switzerland. It connects Brig in the canton of Valais with Domodossola in Piedmont (Italy). The pass itself and the villages on each side of it, such as Gondo, are in Switzerland. The Simplon Tunnel was built beneath the vicinity of the pass in the early 20th century to carry rail traffic between the two countries.
The lowest point of the col, and the lowest point on the watershed between the basins of the Rhone and the Po in Switzerland lies in marshland about 500m (1,640ft) west of the Simplon Pass settlement at an altitude of 1,994m or 6,542ft.
Rotelsee is a lake located near the pass at an elevation of 2,028m (6,654ft).
History
There has been a locally used passage through the mountains here for several centuries, but the pass acquired international significance during the Napoleonic occupation. Between 1801 and 1805 the Simplon Road was constructed by the engineer Nicolas Céard at the direction of the emperor in order to transport artillery pieces through the pass between the Rhône valley and Italy. Since then, the pass has been usable by post carriages, replaced early in the twentieth century by post buses.
According to the Federal RoadsOffice (Astra), passenger cars and heavy goods vehicles can pass the section of the A13 highway... The SimplonPass will also be open again from 18.00 on Friday evening.
The mountains of the Lofoten Islands in the Norwegian Arctic Circle are ideal for exploring by bike as you pass between them rather than over them ... Using an Interrail global pass, I attempted to follow the route of the VeniceSimplon-Orient Express.
Since Friday night, over 100 millimetres of rainfall have inundated the higher terrains of Ticino and the SimplonPass, with forecasts suggesting a continuation of downpours in the region until Easter...
Business Insider's reporter captured a scenic route on the VeniceSimplon-Orient-Express, a luxury overnight train. Joey Hadden/Business InsiderThe Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is one of the most luxurious overnight trains in the world.
