'''Gries Pass''' ({{langx|it|Passo del Gries}}, {{langx|de|Griespass}}, {{langx|fr|Col de Gries}}) is a {{convert|2469|m|ft|adj=mid|-high}} [mountain pass](/source/mountain_pass) between [Valais](/source/Valais), [Switzerland](/source/Switzerland), and [Formazza](/source/Formazza), [Italy](/source/Italy). There is no road over the pass, from [Nufenen Pass](/source/Nufenen_Pass) the paved road ends and a [bridle path](/source/bridle_path) leads over to the Italian side. [A high-pressure gas pipeline](/source/Transitgas_Pipeline) runs over the pass, coming from the [North Sea](/source/North_Sea) to Italy.
