Passes Day in the Alps - Advice...
Discussion
Can I ask the members that have been to the Swiss Alps, to comment on the below route:

We are travelling through the Alps as part of a driving holiday and this is the current route I have come up with, to take us from Italy into Germany and enjoy some of the passes en-route. However, I am having a problem coming up with a route that takes in all the passes I'd like. Currently we are taking in the San Bernardino, Nufenen, Grimselpass and Sustenpass. But with the route planned we are missing out on the Furka pass as a result. Is this pass worth making a detour for?
The question really is whether we are sacrificing the right one? We could drop Nufenen pass for Furka? Or perhaps is it feasible to do a "loop" and get them all in, or is that a bit too much for one day given our destination? Sadly our itinerary doesn't allow for us to spend any extra time in this area (otherwise I'd split them over two days).

Looking at our start and end points, having done the passes yourself, would you say its feasible to include them all (with some loops or double-backing), or is that a bit too much for one day?
We'll be driving them midweek in the middle of June (with an early start), so hoping (but not sure!) that the roads won't be too busy by then with the holidays?
