The Drive to Milan

We decided to take the scenic route to Milan as the main route had a 16km 3 hr delay just getting in to the Gotthard Tunnel, this on top of a 2.5 hr drive. It was a tough but rewarding drive, we went over 2 mountain passes Grimsel & Simplon the scenery was simply jaw dropping the whole 5 hrs. We even saw the glacier which is the source of the Rhone and climbed on 6 ft high snow drifts...in July!
Here's a few photos but as ever they rarely do it justice the first 4 are on the Grimsel Pass, the last 2 the Simplon Pass
