Although the day started rainy, we were hopeful the weather would clear (encouraged by weather radar projections). Paul, our airbnb host, helped us plot a route through the alps, over two high passes that we thought would be more scenic than taking the 20 km tunnel. Wow, this was incredibly beautiful, and at times incredibly scary: no guard rails, 1-½ lanes for 2 cars, sheer drop offs, hairpin turns that jut out into open air, intense views, temperature dropped to 3 deg. C at the pass…..
