FreePass Splügen.

Car-free pass experience

Experience the legendary Splügen Pass without any cars - that's exactly what the FreiPass Splügen offers.

On Sunday, 29 June 2025, the pass road between Splügen (CH) and Campodolcino (IT) was closed to motorized traffic and opened to all those who wanted to conquer the pass under their own steam. With around 7,500 participants, the event was a huge success and provided unforgettable moments.

We are already looking forward to the FreiPass Splügen 2026! Further information will follow in spring 2026.
