Driving from the UK to Switzerland – best route

I have travelled by car between England and Switzerland by car approximately 150 times in my 61 years! I do not generally go via Strasbourg (for historical reasons I won’t bore you with) however I did go that way in October 2021 (via the cheaper route avoiding the A4 toll beyond Reims) ie Calais – Reims (A26) – Vitry le Francois (N4) – Nancy – Strasbourg, then down through Alsace to Mulhouse and Basel (worth stopping in the wine villages around Obernai etc)

The usual ‘family’ route (if going to eastern Switzerland) is a little bit more cross country Reims – Troyes – Langres – Vesoul – Belfort – Basel, but another variation is Reims – Vitry le Francois – Nancy – Epinal – Remiremont – Col de Bussang – Mulhouse – Basel. Yet another is Nancy – St Die – Col du Bonhomme – Colmar

Another tip: to avoid the complicated routes through the centre of Basel, you can dive into Germany so you would go: Colmar – Mulhouse – A36 Ottmarsheim – German route 5 tio junction 68 Dreieck Weil am Rhein, then turn East following signs to Rheinfelden (which has a half a town in Germany and half in Switzerland. Cross the Rhein river and the border there then turn East onto Swiss motorway A3
