    Hi Matrix,

    There are 3 possible routes.

    1) Follow the same way you came and take the car train via Kandersteg.
    2) Go via Furka tunnel (car train between Oberwald and Realp), or
    3) Take the motorway all the way via Sion-Montreux-Bern.

    If there’s heavy snow, I would recommend sticking to the motorways. You can check the traffic information here: http://www.myswissalps.com/car/trafficinfo

    Regards,

    Anna

    I recommend you go back the same way. Of the three possible routes I would say it is the best combination of well engineered roads and directness, plus you get a rest from driving during the car shuttle through the Lotschberg tunnel. The motorway route via Montreux is quite a long way round.
