Gries Pass (Italian: Passo del Gries, German: Griespass, French: Col de Gries) is a 2,469-metre-high (8,100 ft) mountain pass between Valais, Switzerland, and Formazza, Italy. There is no road over the pass, from Nufenen Pass the paved road ends and a bridle path leads over to the Italian side. A high-pressure gas pipeline runs over the pass, coming from the North Sea to Italy.
