Description

Simplonpasset ligger på 2008 m. (eller 6589 ft.). Den forbinder de Penninske Alper og de Lepontinske Alper i Schweiz. Den forbinder Brig i kantonen Valais med Domodossola i Piemonte (Italien).

Passet fik international betydning under den napoleonske besættelse. Mellem 1801 og 1805 blev der bygget en vej på befaling af kejseren for at transportere artillerikanoner over passet mellem Rhône-dalen og Italien. Siden da har passet været brugbart for postvogne og blev i begyndelsen af det tyvende århundrede erstattet af postbiler.

Simplontunnelen blev bygget i begyndelsen af det 20. århundrede nær passet for at transportere jernbanetrafik mellem de to lande.
