Furka Pass is a 2,429 m high mountain pass in the southern Swiss Alps connecting Gletsch, Valais with Realp, Uri via the seasonal Furkapassroute. The Furka Oberalp Bahn bypasses the pass through the 1,390 m high Furka Base Tunnel, which opened in 1982 to replace the seasonal Furka Summit Tunnel tunnel at 2,160 metres. The Furka Pass was used as a location in the James Bond film Goldfinger, a curve of which is marked as "James Bond Strasse", complete with lookout point and small parking area.
