We're in the fortunate group to have done so. 💪

Too bad the weather is so lousy! lol. Perfect Porsche country. I did that route in 1973 in a new 911. Breathtaking at every bend. Thank you for sharing. Us flatlanders in Florida need photos like yours to remind us that the World really does have mountains.

The Swiss Mountains are a dream drive. Did it a few years go and look forward to doing it again.

The weather was indeed "lousy" earlier in the morning because it was very cloudy. By the time it got all sunny, I'm glad to be heading away because it was getting extremely crowded. I'm sure it was unforgettable for you even though it was a long time ago.

Thanks, your pics are stunning and positively drool inducing. So little time, but now on the radar and in my bucket list.

Thanks for the kind comments. The gorgeous alpine scenery makes it easy to capture nice shots. Don't miss the chance to drive these passes.

Sometimes on days like today when the sun is scorching and it's 38 deg C, the beach and the water is also most welcome. 🤣

my late wife and i made several trips to switzerland in the '80's and 1 last trip in 2003.
grimsel, susten, furka passes were our usual runs. not in a porsche alas, but made the effort with what we had.

the stelvio was always in our sights but never made it.
loved taking the car train thru the base of the alps from kandersteg and then on to zermatt.

maybe again before i meet my maker

Beautiful... Switzerland is on my bucket list.

Many years ago my son gave me an Edelweiss Motorcycle Trip over the Italian and Swiss passes. When I got to the top of one of the passes we stopped for lunch. I called my wife back in the States to tell her what a wonderful time I was having. When I got home she said she had never heard such a joyful sound from my voice. You are right to have this on a bucket list.

Keep those memories close to your heart sir. The older we get, fond memories are gold. I hope you make the trip again soon.

It's like you've never really lived until you've done this trip. 🤣
