We had tickets for Europe for May 2020 and ended up kicking the can down the road. We want to use the tickets this Spring, but I don’t think the Covid mess will allow it then. Maybe in the fall like yours.

The Swiss and Austrian Alps are some of my favorite places. I went to Italy and Switzerland a lot in the early 2000’s. Switzerland is much preferable to most of Italy for me, but we’re all different so you may find the opposite. St. Moritz is my favorite place in Switzerland. Driving from Lichtenstein to St. Moritz and then into Italy toward Milan is magnificent, but there are many other breathtaking routes.

For me, driving on open sections of the Autobahn on weekends is real sport. I learned my cross country driving skills on the Autobahn as a young man. If you want to do it, make sure you study the rules and procedures or you’ll be a hazard to everyone including yourself. In these days the trucks plug up the Autobahn on weekdays, but they park on the weekends. Find the open sections and plan your travel on the weekend. That is, of course, assuming you want to include that in your agenda. If you live to drive fast, it’s an experience you won’t forget.

Enjoy the trip, but be safe.
