mountain pass inSwitzerland , in theAlbula Range of theAlps . It connects theEngadin valley with the rest ofGraubünden . At its summit, the pass crosses the watershed / drainage divide between the basins of the RiversRhine andDanube .Constructed in the 1820s to replace the old
Septimer Pass , the road is well built and easily passable for normal cars and trucks; but winter use requires winter tyres, and in bad weather also snow chains.Route
