Greetings, I am looking forward to travel the Splügen pass on or about 22 Sept 2019. I will be traveling north coming from Italy. From what I’ve seen the pass will close in October but I have some concerns that conditions might be too questionable in mid-September. Can you please advise and offer any additional advice regarding the Splügen pass. Thank you for your help. I’m looking forward to my return to Switzerland.

Hello GordonT and welcome to MySwissAlps!
It is not possible to tell if unexpected snowfall on or about Sept. 22 will provoke an early closing of the Splügen pass. Such closing is “unlikely but possible”. I know this doesn’t help you but there is no better answer.
Hi Gordon,
Snowman is right, so all I can add is that there are alternative routes if necessary (1% chance I’d say): motorway A13 for example (San Bernardino).
Should be fine
Snowman, thank you for your prompt response.
Thanks to all of you for replying to my question. These allow me to expect/plan to go over the pass but that I should be prepare for bad weather and a change in route. Looking forward to being in Switzerland.
