How does this sound?
Getting married on my football tour(!) in Itlay beginning of October, am driving there and thought this route would work:

Calais to Baden-Baden, Germany
Baden-Baden via Fluela Pass to Lake Garda
Lake Garda to wedding in Citta di Castello

Questions are - is the Fluela one of the better passes, and what's the chance of it being open then?

IS Baden-Baden a good stop over? Was hoping to use a derestricted autobahn on the way and perhaps some goos roads in the Black Forest?

Any suggestions most welcome!

Indeed the Fluela pass is a great drive all the better when taken in with the whole of the Andermatt loop biggrin

We stay a few miles away from Baden Baden just underneath the B500 at Seebach at Pension Williams http://www.pension-williams.com/ run by Brits

Ask to be taken to the Steakhouse at the top of the hill, they run you up and drop you back, fabulous steaks
