Descending into the cloud on the Glaubenbielen pass. |
The Sustenpass provides a lovely drive along the mountainside. |
South and onto the St. Gotthardpass. Turn off the new road (seen on the left) and pick up the old cobbled pass. |
St. Gotthard statue at the top. |
Turn between the buildings to stay on the old pass and begin the descent. |
Nostalgia |
Now that's what I call hairpins. |
Fantastic drive, takes you back in history. |
Louvered bonnet, connled road, hairpins and steep drop. |
Roadworks keeping the road maintained. It is frequently closed. |
On top of the Nufenenpass. (Thanks to Mike for emailing this super picture) |
On the Furkapass, with the Grimselpass in the background. |
Ascending the Acherlipass, heading east. The road atlas has it marked "difficult or dangerous section of road". They weren't wrong. |
Single track climbing up the steep valley side. |
The pictures don't do justice to the unguarded drops. |
It levels out at the top. |
Cows on the road. |
Then a steep descent. There are barriers on this side of the mountain. |
Still single-track. The hairpins are very tight. 1st gear, full lock. The Morgan needs all the road from barrier to rock. |
Jeff on the Klausen Pass. |
Consulting the map in traditional style. |
