I couldn't believe how busy the Grossglockner was, never seen a pass like it.

Yeah... Grossglockner is like Stelvio... EVERYONE knows about it and wants to drive it. Just be glad you didn't get stuck behind any caravans or trike-bikers(those trikes can't turn!). lol

For next time, i need to be less ambitious in how many miles i can drive in a day. After 8 days, i'll be honest, i was fucked, and i'm only just recovered. The next trip will be 7 days and excluding the first and last, will be limiting myself to ~150 miles per day.

Yep. I always try to tell people to only drive a few hours per day and enjoy the area. Driving say six hours or so. Try to have end points(hotels) but being able to change plans and stay at an unplanned location/hotel works wonders for your mental health on these sorts of trips. I always try to find a hotel for the evening by 7pm at the latest.

Next trip is kinda planned out already; Switzerland and Italy. Two loops, Furka Pass loop and Passo Gardena loop. That will take up most of the time i think.

That sounds like a great tour.
