So here's my planned route so far for the way there, do you think I'm being a bit ambitious? Should I split it over 3 days? Does anyone have any experience driving through the Swiss roads - if Google maps says it's likely to take N hours is this likely to be accurate or an over/underestimate? Any comments?
Day 1:
Google Maps Route
Distance: 80 miles + Eurotunnel + 560 miles.
Google Time: 1.5 hrs + 1 hr + 9.5 hrs.
A long day to get the Euro Tunnel and the boring motorway bit down through Rheims, Troyes and Dijon out of the way. Cross the border into Switzerland and head down to Lausanne before joining the Jaunpass:
Have dinner at the Restaurant Piz Gloria, this was the hideout for Blofeld in the Bond film “On Her Majesties Secret Serviceâ€, stay in a hotel near there for the night:
Day 2:
Google Maps Route
Distance: 469 miles
Google Time: 9 hrs 13 mins.
Leave the hotel and join the Susten Pass:
Down through Andermatt and over the Devil’s Bridge, although I can't quite pin point this on the map, I think it may be a off the above route:
…and on to the Oberalp Pass:
Head east over to Bonaduz and then head down the San Bernardino Pass down to Milan:
And then the boring motorway bit through Italy over to Treviso.
