Winter closure of the Glaubenbielen Pass
The winter closure was lifted at 3 pm on Wednesday, 13 May 2026.
The winter closure is expected to come into force again in November 2026.
The current road conditions can be checked at any time at :

In autumn 2026, preparatory work will begin on the second phase of the Lammschlucht expansion project. Site logistics, electricity and water supplies will be set up, and rock clearance work will be carried out above the road. From Monday 14 September 2026, traffic restrictions are therefore to be expected on working days. To allow for rock clearance, traffic on the road will be temporarily halted for short periods and, during the transport of materials, will be restricted to a single lane in sections.
This will be followed by extensive rock cutting, the installation of crane facilities and the initial stages of work on the new engineering structures. A full closure of the cantonal road will be necessary for this work. From 12 October to 6 December 2026, traffic will be diverted via the old Flühli Road at 20-minute intervals. Passage will be permitted during the following time slots.
Towards Flühli (uphill):
xx.00 – xx.05
xx.21 – xx.25
xx.39 – xx.45
Towards Schüpfheim (downhill):
xx.10 – xx.16
xx.30 – xx.34
xx.50 – xx.55
Following the first full closure, traffic will run as normal on two lanes of the cantonal road during the winter. Minor construction work will take place off the cantonal road. Two further full closures will take place in spring 2027 and spring 2028. The road construction works in the second section are expected to last until 2029 and will be completed in 2030 with the resurfacing works.
