An editable selection of stage towns and five passes inspired by the official Grand Tour. Our calculated roads do not reproduce its official GPX, every scenic detour or the Tremola. The official tour is 1,643 km; our distance is calculated separately. Drive only to Täsch for a separate train visit to car-free Zermatt. Plan this pass-based version for the open-pass season and check each crossing.

Famous summer Alpine road trips

The Grand Tour is the official Swiss touring route; our planner uses editable selected stops. Switzerland Tourism recommends April–October for the general tour, but this version crosses high passes and depends on their actual opening. Switzerland Tourism

Another established scenic route: Deutsche Alpenstraße. See the operator’s stages; it is separate from our multi-country ski itineraries.
