Day 3. Driving the Susten Pass🇨🇭. In 1818 the first stretch was opened and only 100 years later the entire pass was complete.. Driving this pass makes it crystal clear why the Swiss Alps are a paradise for driving enthusiast from all over the world. The road reaches peak on 2260m🏔

Obviously that Switzerland🇨🇭 ain't all about mountains driving and near Grimsel Pass stands the stunning 'The Gelmersee', one of the reservoirs above Guttannen. And for those who are tempted for some extra adrenaline they can always give a try to the "Alpine Rollercoaster" ...

70 kilometers of outstanding drive! No wonder scenes of the 007 Goldfinger movie were shot here, the Furka Pass🏔 is one of the most impressive Alpine crossings in Switzerland🇨🇭, if not the world. 2431 meters / 7975 ft above sea level

Day 4 - San Bernardino Pass🇨🇭 /// The San Bernardino Pass is one of the highest paved roads in the world, but sweeps smoothly over the Swiss Alps. There is reason to believe that the pass was already in use in prehistoric times. Originally called the Via Mala – which literally means “bad path”. The San Bernardino was finally named after a mountain village in the fifteens century. It was during that time when the pass gained importance as a mule track and trading route. Gleaming glacier rocks dominate the scenery of the pass wriggling trough a moor up to the top on 2066 metres with the mountain lake of Lago Moesola. The mix of bogs and pine trees create a unique atmosphere and boasts the largest number of species in the southern part of the Alps.🏔

Wow...wow....wow.
You guys in Europe are so lucky to have that accessible to you. A little far from Canada for me to partake. Anyone who gets to drive those roads is one lucky person. I did consider picking my new BMW M8 up in Europe but with the pandemic it just didn't seem possible. Wonderful pics and dreams though. Thanks Last edited by M8Bimmer; 01-12-2022 at 06:34 AM.. |

Being such a young country our highway system is quite undeveloped really. Yes you can cross the county but it's a long mostly boring trip. The prairie provinces are flat and a yawn to drive. You can see for miles because that's all there is. Miles of nothing. Northern Ontario is nice but limited in roads. A few highways and nice scenery. The thing about where I live is that is a long way to get to any decent road. Southern Ontario is very developed and urban. Plus full of cops and laws. In BC they have some gorgeous roads but that's 3500km from me. Europe is WAY head for great places to go and drive imo. |

Anyway if you ever travel or plan to come Europe and ride some of the local roads give a shout and some of us i'm certain will be happy to meet you. I will take the same consideration traveling to US that should happen over the next years. Will be my third time in US soil and for that one I want to run something special.

Splugen Pass🇨🇭 ‐ on the Swiss side is hairpin heaven. Not always easy when there's a lot of traffic but if you have
a calm day and good weather it's a rather enjoyable road. We're crossing our fingers the day we'll get there!
