To be honest these passes are only less than 2 hours away from me so every summer I will pop by a couple of times.

Lol it's too tedious to photoshop every damned distraction out of the pics. I went very early on a Monday so that helps. Be prepared for traffic jams on the weekends and it's no joke (buses, trucks, cars, motorbikes, bicycles and whatever else the world can throw at you).

Keywords - early and weekday

We are looking at doing Gotthard, Furka, Grimsel, [Mürren], and then Susten, in that order. Sounds like it will work.

Beautiful pics! My original plan on ED was to do Susten Pass, but got there a couple weeks too early so I did Klausen Pass instead. You live in a gorgeous country, so enjoy your summer driving

Sadly the Klausen pales in comparison to the Susten, both in terms of driving experience and scenery. Sorry that you didn't get to enjoy it.

And the Susten isn't even the best of the lot. The area that the Grimselpass covers is amazing and the Furkapass is mad to drive.

Thanks for the info, if we are fortunate to do another ED, we'll go a little later and definitely make our stay in Switzerland longer!

No risk no gain. But black is an aggressive color. The important thing is the car itself. Still a M2!
