Drove over the Nufenen yesterday early evening around 19h00 on my return from Ticino. The pass was EMPTY! No cars, bikes, buses, caravans, cyclists, pedestrians, just me and the AMG... Enjoyed every minute of the drive biggrin even if it was raining and the road was a tad wet with the summit covered in clouds. Still some high snow banks on the side though

Shhh, don't tell everyone!

This is my favourite pass, always reasonably quite, and great to drive with enthusiasm...

No need to advertise this to all!

I agree and shhhh we will keep it quite. Timing was great as we made a little stop around 20.30ish in St Pierre de Clages for a nice little meal and a glass of local red

I certainly enjoyed this Pass on the Swiss Run. So much so, I led some of the group, some of the way up the Pass, then followed a certain Porsche down the other side, cooking the Audi's brakes in the process hehedriving

True, the Nufenen was a lot of fun. The Furka and Grimsel were my favourites I think!

I drove the Gottard, Nufenen and Grimsel on Saturday. That was very enjoyable, but I have to say it was a lot more fun to do it as a group. I think I also pushed quite a bit harder when we were all there too.
