If I'm going to be spending a day in late June driving the Grimsel, Furka, Susten etc , is there much difference in traffic between a Friday or a Saturday ?

At the moment I'm planning on driving them on the Saturday, but I'm now worried that'll be the day all the caravans etc come out ?

End of June all should be open + I only have the options of a Friday or a Saturday to drive the route. I'm not too bothered about having clear roads for full on blasts as I'll have my wife as passenger wink .... just would prefer not to get stuck behind campervans doing 20 mph all the way up some of the best passes in Europe.

if you do any of the passes at weekends then thats exactly what you'll get, campervans and caravans none of whome will pull over and get out of your way.

So Friday would be best then ?
