Hi all,

I have been reading some bits about the various Swiss and Italian passes that a group and I have been discussing having a go at? However is this sort of road trip possible.

Day 1 - London to Zurich area
Day 2 - Susten, San Bernardino, Albula, Gavia, Stelvio, Silvretta Pass (maybe not all but a mixture)
Day 3 - Day 2 area back to London

Am I thinking this will be to much - it will also be 4 guys in 2 cars (not 2 girls in 1 cup)so the driving time can be split.

Cheers in advance!

End of August, Start of September next year, plenty of time to plan but we have not driven in Europe before so not sure if it's even possible.

Yes it's possible, but why?
Too much of a frenetic dash imo. Not sure I see the point.
Much better to take things a little easier and chill out.

Leave home on Sunday, back again the following one. Taking in:

Calais
Strasbourg
Black Forest
Interlaken
Grimsel Pass
Furka Pass
Tremola Road
Gotthard Pass
Verzasca Dam
San Bernardino Pass
Fluela Pass
Ofen Pass
Umbrail Pass
Stelvio Pass
Bolzano
Monte Carlo

Black Forest to Bolzano is the same as Days 3, 4, & 5 of this.

London to Zurich in a day will be a long boring day as will coming back. It all seem a bit too much to me for one decent days worth of driving. Far better off taking 5 or more days and taking more interesting routes to get to Switzerland and back again. You can still drive 'in a rush' and it'll be less tiring and less boring.
