So you're on a road trip, have driven the main passes in central Switzerland but only have time/money to turn right to France and drive the Route Napoleon or left to Austria and drive the Grossglockner?

What do you do?

Timmelsjoch - it's cheaper and nearer than the GG.

Grossglockner is good, but overpriced for what it is.

+1 if you go to Austria

Though to be fair we had great weather on the Timmelsjoch' but fog meant we couldn't see as far as the end of the bonnet on the Grossglockner so not a fair comparison.
