Ofenpass | 2145 METER | Santa Maria Zernez

The Ofen Pass is a pass at 2149 metres in the Swiss canton of Graubünden between Zernez in the Engadine and Val Müstair. Starting from Zernez, the well-built Ofen Pass road B 28 crosses the Swiss National Park on its northern side and reaches the pass summit just outside the park after 19.1 km. The present road was built in 1871. Today, it follows the main valley and the Ova dal Fuorn, exposed but with a significantly shallower incline. Its construction was linked to the building of the modern Engadin valley road in 1865, today's main road 27, and the Flüela pass road in 1867.
