Default TONS of pics from 2008 "Swiss Alps Tour"

Hi guys,

thought I could share some pictures with you from our last year's Swiss Alps Tour.

The whole thing took place on June 7th/8th 2008.

Here's two maps of the route (there were minor changes to the route, but all in all we were driving this route more or less):


(Please forgive the german side notes! )



Day 1

The gathering (unfortunately, the weather wasn't too nice then... )





First stop on top of "Klausenpass"







Then, at least it stopped raining, so we could drive top down:






Next stop was on "Grimselpass"




It was THAT cold up there!

(note: 4

Weather was A LOT better than the day before!

The next morning, everybody is getting ready for departure







Some rolling shots on the way to the next mountain pass





















On our way up to Passo San Bernardino
















Stop on Passo San Bernardino

And on the way down again








Next pass: Passo dello Spluga



(here we crossed the border to Italy, but only for a short time until we came back to beloved Switzerland)














It's been a long way, so everybody was hungry




After Lunch we headed for the notorious Passo dello Stelvio




The Stelvio is famous for its countless hairpins (somewhat around 90 hairpins!!! )








And all these guys were present




Hope, you enjoyed it.

Comments welcome.
