Sounds good, if you have to drop one drop the stelvio, its not that good IMHO and serves a purpose by attracting others

Top trip that, we did a few of those stops / passes a few years ago in the S.

It'll be memorable.

Enjoy.

Have a great trip. I did similar a few years back and can't wait to do another in the S2000.

Here's an old bookmark I had to a site which shows whether the passes are currently open or closed. There are probably better sites, this one doesn't have English translation!

Alpine passes open/closed

I've not found one as extensive as that one in many years doing the Alps

Thanks for that link, it's very useful although it has just crushed my planned route to the Italian lakes later this month

Planned to take the Susten, Grimsel and Gothard passes and all 3 are still shut at the moment! Guess I could take the Gothard tunnel down and hope they are open on the way home 3 weeks later
