A friend took European Delivery of his M3 a couple of years ago and described a route into and back out of Austria that had so many intense switchbacks that he actually grew tired of them. Were you on route like that anywhere along your journey through the Alps; if so, do you recall the name of the pass(es) that you crossed over? |

If you find Berwang in the map, you can see the route down from Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany. If you then follow that road southwest out of Berwang and a big loop back up to Imst then Home to Munich, that's the route we took.
I've driven through the alps, mostly Switzerland, 4 times before this and on much nicer routes and passes (done Stelvio twice, Furka, San Bernardino, etc). Last year went through the French alps too. This trip was a really quick one just to take the new car for a spin but you really need to take your time to enjoy the alps for what they are.
