Stunning scenery, although I doubt you would have much chance to see it along that road.
BTW The year is wrong on the dashcam.

Lovely area.
I have driven a coach along that road but in the opposite direction. Trying a short cut to Interlaken. It actually worked, I beat the other three coaches that were in front of me. Obviously a bit slower in a large vehicle but I always had time to look at the scenery.

I completely forgot about the Stingray!
Scenery was lovely, plenty of time to look if not driving too fast. Plenty of parking to take in the views, the Swiss plan things so well. Cant imagine driving this road in a coach, I thought the S8 was already too wide I had to drive this road twice in the same day, long story. Yes I need to fix that date! The beautiful blue glacier is at the top of this pass. Last edited by Goran; 3rd March 2019 at 07:48 PM. |

A coach is not too much wider, it's the length that gets you.
Funnily enough the larger tri-axle coaches are better, they have rear wheel steer.
