Summer roadtrip on the Alps

September 9, 2009 · Print This Article

This summer in August i have been through some sweet twisty roads on the Alps throughout France, Italy, Austria and Germany. The experience of driving a mazda RX8 there is priceless. Beside going through dozens of tunnels and curvy roads with awesome sights, the most amazing were the following two:

Stelvio Pass - 2760 m altitude

This is the one highest passes you can go by car , and it was declared the best road in the World by Top Gear. The following video made me dream about taking Rexy (my 8 ) to this road:

Mont blanc - 4810 m altitude

I stopped somewhere at ~1200m altitude at the italian-french border , near the Mont blanc tunnel (~12km long) and then picked up the cable car to ~3500m at the Punta Helbronner stop. The view was simply breath taking. Photos talk for themselves :
