Wikipedia says:
San Bernardino Pass (el. 2063 m.) is a high mountain pass in the Swiss Alps connecting the Hinterrhein and the Mesolcina (Misox) valleys between Thusis (Graubünden) and Bellinzona (Ticino).
Located at 46°29.82′N 9°10.32′E, it is not to be confused with the Great St. Bernard Pass and the Little St. Bernard Pass.
The top of the pass represents both the Italo-German language frontier and the watershed (drainage divide) between the Po basin and the Rhine basin.
The route first became important in the fifteenth century when the route between Thusis and Splügen was known as the Via Mala. The modern road was first opened only between 1821 and 1823, financed in part by the Kingdom of Sardinia, keen to improve a trade route connecting Genoa and Piedmont to the Graubunden that was not directly controlled by Austria.
Traffic flow was much facilitated when in 1967, the San Bernardino road tunnel was completed, since when vehicle traffic on the pass has been much reduced, benefiting those taking the time to avoid the tunnel. The pass road is only open in summer."

Hello Franco,
Tu étais donc en Suisse! Belle image prise au col de San Bernardino, qui nous montre qu'il y a encore pas mal de neige là-haut. J'aime bien ton angle de vue ouvert sur le haut plateau entouré de montagnes. Intéressant aussi de voir les parties bleutées de la neige qui fond.
Bonne après-midi
Anne

Ciao Franco
la montagna è il mio "habitat" naturale, e guardando bellissime foto come questa che ci presenti non posso far altro che sentire il richiamo delle alte vette, dell'aria fresca e dei paesaggi incontaminati. La foto è davvero eccezionale sia per il modo in cui la mostri sia per la mestria con cui sei riuscito a ritrarre i fantastici colori non facili da riportare soprattutto in presenza della neve.
Great
Livio
