Swiss Passes & Lake Luzern - 4 Days

Swiss Passes & Lake Luzern Driving Tour 

Our Swiss Passes & Lake Luzern Driving Tour features the greatest mountain passes in the Swiss Alps. Starting in Zurich, the first tour takes you straight into the Alps via the small Mount Albis, then via the scenic shores of Lake Lucerne. You then cross the spectacular Susten, Grimsel, and 007 Furka passses, spending an evening in the Alpine resort of Andermatt. Tour 2 takes you back to Zurich via the Gotthard, Nufenen, and Grimsel passes. There is simply nowhere else in Europe, or in the world, that can offer such an experience with 5 unique Category 1 (2000+ m) alpine passes in such a concentrated region. In short, this trip is an alpine pass paradise. The only dilemma you have to face is choosing which car to take!

Note: The high altitude nature of this tour means there is quite a narrow season, from mid-June till mid-October each year.

Day 2 - Into the Central Swiss Alps: Susten, Grimsel, & 007 Furka Passes

Your car will be delivered to your hotel in the morning, and with your provided eRoadbook and Google navigation links (including stops for sights, lunch and coffees) you are now all set to officially start your tour. Your first drive will be to Andermatt, which is set in the heart of the central Swiss Alps. Take a scenic run along the shores of Lake Zurich before crossing the deserted Buchernegg Pass, and down to Lake Lucerne. We recommend you stop for a coffee at the town of Vitznau. Later, continue south onto the heart of the Alps, crossing the spectacular Susten Pass. Carved into the granite like sides of the valley, it is simply breathtaking to drive. After a visit to the Stein Glacier, have lunch at the end of the Pass. Continue onto the Grimsel Pass, then follow the 007 Furka Pass past the Rhone Glacier and down to the resort of Andermatt for the evening.
