After a short but very enjoyable blast down to the Swiss Alps last month I now want to do a longer trip taking in the Pyrenees, Monaco, RN, Stelvio, the Black Forest and the 'Ring.

If anyone has any pointers I would appreciate it.

TIA

N260 (if I remember correctly) - basically runs from Biarritz to Girona. About 400 miles of the best driving I have ever done. Big climbs, descents, gorges, strings of 2nd and 3rd gear bends, plus an 8km tunnel in the middle.
To give you an idea of how much fun I had, I blistered the front tyres and warped a new set of brakes on my BMW...
Leave Biarritz at 6am and watch the mist evaporate as the sun comes up.
Magic.

I want to go again....

In my opinion the roads in the Pyrennes are far better than the alps as there is much less traffic. Before 10am I probably only had to overtake about 4 times.

If you want a shorter route drive the small road from Pau up into the mountains and then pick a course towards Girona, via Andorra. A lot of fun also.
