10-day tour starting with a Friday morning ferry from Dover to Dunkerque and travelling through France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany to Switzerland where we spend 5 days exploring this beautiful country..Our route takes us to Davos where we drive Top Gears's "best driving road in the world" over the Stelvio pass.Our final two days takes us over the Grand St Bernard pass to Italy where we stay in Cogne a charming mountain resort before returning to Lake Geneva on our final afternoon.En-route we drive over 20 spectacular passes with a combined height above sea level in excess of 44,000 metres including the "daddy of them all", the Stelvio Pass at 2,757 metres with over 60 hairpins,(see photos below).Our stunning route allows us to experience some of Europe's most stunning scenery and, arguably, its best driving roads.The first two days include some motorway and main road sections to make covering the distance a little easier, but once into Switzerland we have a couple of more restful days on Lake Lucerne and in Montreux on Lac Leman, (Lake Geneva).
