Yesterday every pass but one opened. Guess which one is still closed? Nufenen! Let's wait a couple more days

Duh. I just asked in the AGM when the passes open. That's great news! Looks like I'll be out for some drives in the alps soon then!

Nip across the Border to France, some cracking roads in the Jura, I had a very enjoyable trip around St Claude a few weeks back.
Also the speeding tickets are quite a bit more affordable (not that you'll be doing anything of the sort).

I have heard a lot of great roads in the French Jura. I've never really tried them out. Some day in the Ultima...

And the Nufenen is now open!

Edited to change from closed :ranting to open

If you're on the south side there's some good stuff on the Saleve too for a quick run

[UltimaCH]

Some quick photos taken at the top of the Nufenen yesterday afternoon. Apart from a bus load of Japanese tourists, little traffic and quiet except me...

Looks good. Some of my colleagues did the Nufenen last Sunday but I was away. Consoled myself with a trip around here on Monday, Jaun pass and Les Mosses.

These pictures make me sad.

Heading south to north on the Neufenen is my favourite piece of road in the whole of the Alps.

The road surface south to north is much better. On the Wallis side it may need some repairs soon (bumpy indeed).
