Emily and I readied our bikes and then spent the day cycling towards the Furkapass. The weather was balmy and we were in good spirits as we headed off. After riding up a valley for some time we began to ascend to steeply to our first pass, the Oberalppass (2046 m). From there we had a nice long descent and then another ride up a valley. At the head of the valley we ascended Furkapass and were passed by the rest of the kiwis near the top of the pass. We ate cheese fondue in a little restaurant a few kilometres from the top of the pass and stayed the night there.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/emilyandcrisarepassedbyatrainwhileridingtowardsoberalppassswitzerland_resize.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/emilyandcrisarepassedbyatrainwhileridingtowardsoberalppassswitzerland_resize-small1.jpg\" alt=\"Emily and Cris are passed by a train while riding towards Oberalppass (Switzerland) resize\" width=\"126\" height=\"168\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/crisandemilyatoberalppassswitzerland_resize.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/crisandemilyatoberalppassswitzerland_resize-small1.jpg\" alt=\"Cris and Emily at Oberalppass (Switzerland) resize\" width=\"126\" height=\"168\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Above left: Cris and Emily are overtaken by a train while riding towards Oberalppass.
