It’s absolutely stunning.

What’s the ambient temp, given snow on peaks?

Not not sure of the temperature but a lot of the passes are closed. We did go up roads yesterday and had to turn around as they where blocked with snow.

Day 6 of our adventure where do I begin
Making a workaround to make sure folk had waypoints for the day as the socket and satnav power lead weren’t talking we headed off to the Rhine falls, what a stunning and breathtaking place.
From here we headed towards Austria and used some tracks literally !!! To go over some mountain tops in the mist we then pressed on to Lantern where we went up a pass to where the snow was and back down as now time was getting on it was decided to head for Guarda but in a village we all became separated and the agreed “get to the hotel “ was implemented.
So punched in quickest route and set off, as we passed a service area I spotted Ali and Gail along with Jim and Laura, so at least we were taking the same “quick “ route. Pulling off at Davos it said the Fluella pass was closed. Oops so pressed on south the Abula pass closed so carried on south through a pass and then over the Juliapasse, WOW, to say it was stunning is an understatement so climbing up the pass saw a remarkable amount of fuel and fun used despite the rain which turned to snow flakes, the higher we went, blasting up the hairpins in second and third with the odd grab of fourth, arms like popeye soon 🙂 
Then over the top to saint moritz and up to Guarda , tunnels and passes in the dark made an altogether different experience mmmmmm
270 miles of ADVENTURE

Today only 80 miles to visit Gunter Sommer at high glen distillery in saints Maria Val Mustair 
Over the ofenpasse in glorious weather to the distillery where we were royally treated and Gunters hospitality knows no bounds we were treated to a tour of the distillery, museum and the smallest whisky bar on earth
We were fed and watered and treated like family we then went up the umbrail pass to the snow gate and view point before heading home 
A wonderful day out relaxed and destressed 
Unfortunately the meal tonight was really bad and the service left a lot to be desired, strange as everybody else has been so wonderful

What a brilliant day.

 

We went to a friend of Garys who has a small Whisky distillery on his home. He also owns a brilliant pub and a fabulous museum. Gunter made us feel so welcome and he even made us all lunch. Gary signed a lot of whiskey barrels that he had made years ago and I felt really proud for him.

 

We then had a blast into the mountains and myself and Dave headed into Italy.

 

It was absolutely brilliant and we just went exploring without satnavs for a few hours.

 

Anyway here are a few pictures.
