As @wasp and I started our conversation at June, 04 the planned Swiss passes Susten, Grimsel, Furka and St. Gotthard old pass road are all 'winter closed' and this
website tells me that they until June, 19th are closed.
So the hotels are cancelled now and we planned complete new routes. We are only 6 guys with 3 cars so we decided that we will rock the alps.
I tells me when the British guys pays a lot of money to come to the alps I will help that they all get a unbelivable experience.
At the last 10 days we had a lot and strong rain with warm temperature here, so the snow goes away. At June, 6th I made a phone call with the local police there to ask when the passes will be open. The very friendly police man tells me that they maybe open at June, 10th and he gives me a phone number where I can ask.
Just yesterday evening the upper website was updated and now this passes will be open at 10th and one at 11th.
So we will start now going in the West at Grimsel go East to Cortina de Ampezzo, South to Rovereto and Monte Baldo. The route I have planned now we will hit hundreds of hundreds of twisties and hair-pins and dozens of passes.
@Totoro or all others who will drive with us you can join us only at Saturday evening at 19:30 for dinner at
Dependence Del Parco, Porlezza
We will then start at Sunday morning.
