Day 7 - The Italian Job

Today saw us only drive 3 passes in total, the Spluga Pass, San Bernardino and Colle del Nivolet. The Colle del Nivolet was an hours drive from base to peak alone.

Destination for tonight?

Hydro Electric Damn on approach to the Spluga Pass

More damn animals in the road!

Spluga Pass and border patrol

Ooooo, am i in Italy or Switzerland?

Hmmmmm, those safety barriers look erm....

And more damn (geddit?) animals (beavers) in the road

San Bernardino Pass

Quick break in this Swiss/Italian town

The beginning.....

This pass is well known due to the original Italian Job film and the infamous ending. In real life it is a dead end, not a road out of Italy.

The top!!

And parking spot for the night.

The accommodation

The path

The view

And even more beer!!

Total driving time (including stops/fuel ups/etc) - 9 hours / 240 miles
