Nate loves the rush of fast cars and technical driving. And driving in Europe is an extreme sport in itself, so it would only make sense to put our lives on the line to combine the 2, right?? I wanted to take the Stelvio Pass from Italy to Switzerland so Nate could check out 1 of the highest recommended driving experiences for an adrenaline enthusiast and from there make our way over the Fruka Pass in Switzerland (as seen on TopGear and Goldfinger).
Unfortunately, my dumbass didn’t even think about checking when the roads opened. Which, I feel especially stupid about since I live in a state were several mountain roads have limited seasonal availability to traverse. While the Stelvio was open, the Fruka Pass would still be closed for another 2 weeks. Insert sad face emoji here. It was difficult, but due to my lack of planning, I decided to abandon the idea of Switzerland altogether. Driving the Fruka Pass was a must do but since that was out, Switzerland would have to wait. It’s not so bad though, now I have a reason to plan a trip to Switzerland, emphasis on the planning this time!
