A cold front caused the snow line in Switzerland to drop below 2000 meters above sea level on Friday night. As a result, several mountain passes were closed in the early morning.
According to the website of the Touring Club of Switzerland (TCS), the Furka, Gotthard, Grimsel, Klausen, Nufenen, Oberalp and Susten passes were closed to traffic shortly before 08:00. There was snow on several other mountain passes, including the Albula, Bernina, Jaun, Maloja and the road over the Vue-des-Alpes.
Otherwise, the traffic information service Viasuisse did not record any major restrictions on road traffic due to the snowfall, as it reported on request.
