Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Furka Pass?

The Furka Pass (2,429m) is a high mountain pass in the Swiss Alps connecting the cantons of Uri and Valais. It is famous for the Belvedere Hotel, built in 1882, and the nearby Rhône Glacier — the source of the Rhine — which is dramatically visible from the pass road. The pass featured in the James Bond film Goldfinger (1964).

What does this print show?

The print captures the historic Belvedere Hotel on the Furka Pass above the Rhône Glacier — the grand alpine hotel and surrounding mountain landscape in a single frame that combines Switzerland's alpine heritage with its glacial scenery.

What is the Belvedere Hotel's history and current status?

The Hotel Belvedere was built in 1882 to serve travellers crossing the Furka Pass and became one of the most celebrated alpine hotels in Switzerland, known for its views of the Rhône Glacier. It closed in 2016 after years of declining visitor numbers, partly due to the retreat of the glacier — which had been a major draw. As of the early 2020s, the hotel remained closed and subject to plans for renovation and reopening, though its future remained uncertain.
