The Albula Pass (2,315 m a.s.l.) is a Swiss mountain pass in the canton of Graubünden. It lies at the heart of the Albula Alps, on the watershed between the Albula, tributary of the Rhine and the Ova d'Alvra, tributary of the Inn. Overlooking the pass are the ranges of Piz Üertsch (north) and Crasta Mora (south).
The Albula Pass is an important axis from central Graubünden to Engadin. It is traversed by a paved road from Thusis to La Punt, via Bergün. It is also traversed by the Albula Railway, although at a lower elevation through the Albula Tunnel (1,820 m), from Thusis to Bever, also via Bergün.
The Albula Pass is one of the three paved road passes connecting the Engadin with the northern Grisons, the two other being the Julier Pass and the Flüela Pass.*

This cache take the place of MoCache_CH05 Albula by Swiss Jim Hawkins hidden on July 31, 2006 and unfortunately archived on June 16, 2018 after 1,005 found logs.
I've found it on July 31, 2014 and it was my found #88!
It is very strange that this pass has been without a cache for 5 years since the archival of the MoCache, so I've decided to placed a new one to remember that and to offer to geocachers a little reason to get here.
If you want to know more about the pass you can find a lot of informations in the panel at the bus stop.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CACHE IS NOT AVAILABLE IN WINTER AS THE ROAD IS CLOSED FOR SNOW.
PLEASE DO NOT LOG PICTURES OF GZ, THE BOX, THE LOGBOOK, "VIEW FROM THE CACHE". LET THE GEOCACHERS WHO'LL COME AFTER YOU TO ENJOY THE CACHE IN THE SAME WAY!
