They are working on it. There are much higher tides than 22'. The Bay of Fundy is the highest, often listed at or close to 50'. I believe that is unusual, the mean tide is closer to 40'.
Not too far behind is Anchorage and the Turn Again Arm and Inchon Korea.
Regarding the Alps, I think the San Bernardino Pass between Zurich and Italy is the most beautiful. I once drove that on a Sunday morning after a Saturday night that I would rather forget Better than driving that is to take the train, simply because you can spend all your time with your mouth open! On one of my train crossings I had my oldest daughter with me, we had been in Zurich for a couple of days and were on the way to Milan. I was excited for her to see this most beautiful route---and could not keep her awake---I still needle her about that.
The other pass I have used is the Brenner Pass which is further east and ends in Innsbruck Austria. It is a much lower pass and while beautiful in it's own right it pails to its western neighbor.
