I know, but we didn't visit Graubünden this time. And the Furka and Susten were still closed early June.
We have made a lot of other very scenic mountain drives, like the Centovalli and the Valle Vigezza and Valle Cannobina (the last ones in Italy). Even more spectacular than the hairpins of the passes.

Malesco - Cannobio is nice. I prefer the hiking trails above the road, however (via Finero - Gurro - Falmenta - Spoccia - Gurrone - Cavaglio - Traffiume, all authentic non touristy villages where the time seems to stand still since half a Century.

do Swiss require International Driving Permit? They do require vignettes at about 30 francs or so to use autobahns.

MyriamC

True! Our B&B was in Traffiume, walking distance from the excellent restaurant Grotto Sant' Anna.
Malesco was nice, Re a bit weird with its over-the-top cathedral. But very scenic drives! (I'm not a hiker).

Don't know about the driving permit. We drove our own car. The vignette is 40 CHF but well worth its money when you almost criss-cross the country.

Ah, you're European I think - most European countries require Int'l License from non-European countries - not sure if the Swiss do.

MyriamC

Yes, I'm Belgian. We have a European driver's licence.

IDP not required in Switzerland as it is in many countries - this tells all about that.
