My m3 in the Swiss Alps - Fluela Pass and San Bernardino Pass

[scott1205]

I recently completed my third road trip across Europe. As I had already been to Switzerland a couple of times before I wanted to try some of the less well-known passes. I recorded two of these, the Fluela Pass and San Bernardino Pass.

As I found these to be better drives than some of the ‘famous’ passes (stelvio, furka…) I thought I would share some photos and the GoPro footage in case any of you guys are planning a similar trip.

Nice, but you seem to be all over the road.

Nice, but you seem to be all over the road.

Where I can see enough of the road ahead to see there's no on coming cars I like to use 'the racing line' as it's much smoother than staying on one side of the road all the time. I am guessing thats why you think I am alover the road?

I'm not sure that's accurate, if a car was coming in the opposite direction doing similar speeds I'd put money on you being pretty fucked. Also 'the racing line' tends to be used on tracks, not public roads regardless of whether it's a 'smoother' drive.

Exactly, i know what you think you are doing, but to me in a number of places it looks like you were doing it unecessarily and at the risk of other drivers.

Worth noting that dashcams really arent good for perception of visibility. I watched back a "Spirited Drive" on mine the other way and it makes it look 10 times more risky than It was, especially with visibility around corners.

Nice trip mate, and a great car to do it in!
