    Hi,

    We are family of 5. Girls are 16, 14, 11. We plan to drive from Como to Interlaken next month.

    It will be the 2nd day of a 14 days trip. We thought to spent the whole day driving in the most scenic rout.

    Recommendations?

    Hi Pazalon,

    Welcome to MySwissAlps! The route via Airolo, Nufenen pass and Grimsel pass would be very nice. If you still have energy left you could take the road on the north bank of Lake Brienz for better views (the south is mostly tunnel). Don’t watch and drive, make plenty of stops to watch the scenery. More tips are here: http://www.myswissalps.com/ca r/drivinginthemountain s.

    There are about 5 variants to the ‘most scenic’ route all told. You could even attempt three of the ‘big six’ central Switzerland passes (by going Como – Airolo – Gotthardpass – Hospental – Furkapass – Grimselpass); or you could go Gotthardpass – Andermatt – Wassen – Sustenpass. I love all these passes going back all my life, but the Sustenpass has a particularly superb glacier view on the western side of the pass – and is somewhat less busy than the Furka which can sometimes get clogged with large vehicles on what is still a very narrow road in places
