I forgot about Albula, been a while since I last crossed there. Bit far from our usual stay in Schweiz and I’m not that fit anymore :)
As said above, you can take the old road up Simplon from Ried Brig, but last time I was there (2021) you could only do about 4km on it and it diverted onto the main road due to ongoing construction. Once you are over it is a pretty nice descent and Domodossola is a quaint mountain town for lunch and supplying. We usually go there just for this and everything is much cheaper than in Switzerland.
Reminiscing about all this really makes me want to do a multi-day or week tour just between France, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Austria and Italy.
