Location in Switzerland

Chasseral Pass (German: Gestler) (el. 1502 m.) is a high mountain pass in the Jura Mountains, lying west of the Chasseral. The pass is located on the border between the Swiss cantons of Neuchâtel (north side) and Bern (south side). It is traversed by a road connecting Saint-Imier and Nods, both located in the Bernese Jura. North-east of the pass is the Chasseral Ouest, the highest point of the canton of Neuchâtel.

From the summit of the pass another road leads to the Chasseral hotel (1,548 m) and summit of the Chasseral (1,607 m).
