How to get there	From the west the climb starts above Meiringen in Innertkirchen (625m). If arriving from the north or from Klausenpass, the climb starts already at Erstfeld (452m). If you come from the south, the Andermatt area, you start the climb when you turn off the road down the valley at Wassen (916m). (This supposes you go through the tunnel pass and up the other side of the pass as you cannot cycle with a racer (anyway) up the east side of this pass.) It is not a very steep pass, apart from the short climb up from the tunnel, but it is a long one!
Other comments	It is somewhat nice with the tunnels and bridges on the east side above Wassen (photo). The hairpinned road near the top on the west side is also very nice and I wished to have taken a photo there, but I had snow and then heavy rain in summer clothes, but have now returned and taken photos in fine weather! The pass is a short tunnel at the top (lit). The real pass is also likely possible to get to (at least from the west side) and is only slightly higher. I did not see any place for water above Wassen on the east side. There is a bar just below the top serpentines on the west side and two at the top itself (one of which is at the top of Sustenhöhe). Accomodation could be found in Meiringen; Innertkirchen; Guttanen on the west side and in Wassen on the east side. The new Sustenpass road opened in 1947. (The photo shows the east side of this pass.) [CH-BE-2264a]
