Swiss Taycan owners

There's going to be a "bouchon extraordinaire" for the first week of the Susten opening for sure.
Meanwhile I made trip in the Naturpark Gantrisch

Yep. If I do Furka this week, it'll be by leaving home at 6AM.

Salut !
Furka, isn't it? Pic 31 from this page seems to be that exact spot.

FWIW This is from the last hairpin at the Sustenpass, Berner side. Not the Furka.

Hi there, yes Furka, great spot! I confess its last September I did Furka, Susten and Grimsel round trip. The high passes only just opened in 2024. I cannot recommend highly enough to do this loop. It's a long drive but simply stunning scenery and driving.

I did the Susten in very thick fog two years ago. Couldn’t see 5 meters ahead. Had to rely on gps to see where the corners were. Quite an experience.

Planning to do Davos - Italy this year. Probably Fluela - Samedan - Bernina and return the next week to Ischl via Mals - val mustair - zernez - scuol - Serfaus

Any tips for alternative routes ? I did the Stelvio two years ago and Gross Glockner last year.

Davos is our first stop from Belgium. But we can also make the first stop in Zermat and have a selfie with the Matterhorn. And do the Furka and Gotthard. Or stay in Bern / Interlaken and do the Grimsel - Furka - Gotthard. I have lived in Bern for 4 months and really like the region.

I stand corrected, too many hairpins, views and ohh ahh wow moments to count on that trip. The only answer is to go back soon and make sure I have it correct

Looking through this thread makes me really happy that I have a two week trip to Switzerland planned this summer! Awesome photos, can't wait to drive some of those roads too.

I can recommend a drive around the Genting Highlands and Frasier's Hill if you like a bit of altitude!

Yep, Furka is open!

Question to you in Switzerland.
I had planner to travel to Lindau from Cannes in 10 dags time.
Normally I would have gone via Italy and stayed over night in Lugano, then via St Bernardino pass. But that seems to be not viable now. ??

Is this due to the recent flooding or???

The go-to site to check the Swiss Alps passes is: https://www.alpen-paesse.ch/en/

San Bernardino is not open yet - probably still under snow. This year, passes are opening quite late.
San Berardino was opened, but got closed again for road work/bridge work:

Important note: Closure, construction work. No diversion. The Italian road between Hinterrhein and San Bernardino will be closed to traffic on 18.06.2024 between 07.30 and 17.00 so that the temporary bridge can be built.

Thanks! Will check that out.

This is what Google maps says. Road closed until Jan 2025??

Wii check with Swiss links now.

There's no announced date for the reopening. https://www.alpen-paesse.ch/en/alpenpaesse/san-bernardinopass/

You could be the first Taycan to make it up the Furka in 2024!

Ah, I didn't think of it, but probably yes: it opened on the previous day, but the weather was horrible. And I was there at 8am on the 2nd opened day.
Lots of Porsche 911 were there too.

Terrible wet weather in Valais this weekend so I went to Plan B (France) as a drier alternative..
