Suggest you use the St Gotthard tunnel and plan to go through on a Sunday morning - no lorries so very easy! Also the onward journey to Gardra is easier on a Sunday, particularly round Milan. There is a handy site to overnight in Altdorf about 1 hour from the tunnel on the north side. Alison

Sorry - this reply is very late - just been doing some catch-up surfing. The first time we used the St G tunnel it was a weekday with huge hold-ups and lots of lorries. Last year we made the decision to drive from Alsace on Staurday afternoon, through Switzerland, spending the night at Altdorf...

Thanks, Chrissie - I will make sure we ask or a grass pitch near the lake. Alison

Can anyone recommend the fastest ( and easiest ) route for this tow? During October half term we need to drive down to Malaga from the Bilbao ferry,pick up a caravan and tow it back to the ferry. On the map the route of choice looks like Bilbao to Burgos to Madrid to Granada to Malaga but having...

I understood from Dutch folk thaty we met whilst amping in the lac de St Croix area that the ROute Napoleon was not recommended by the equivalent of their caravan club for towing - but that was several years ago.

Thamk you for this - very reassuring

Hi!I have been towing for nearly 12 years. My tow cars have been Freelander, Merccedes MLs ( 2) and now a Kia Sorrento. Whereas all previous cars required rear tyre pressures to be increased when towing, there seems to be no usch recoomendation for the Kia. I find the Kia to be aa poor tow car...

Can anyone tell me whether you can drive staright on to this train without the need to reverse. The instructions are a bit vague, My husband can't do reversing under pressure ( or at anytime if the truth be told! ) Many thanks, Alison

2 days from Calais would be tight. There is a good overnight stop at Camping International Lido in Luzerne ( take your own beer - very expensive ).but we make this our second night stop. The St Gotthard tunnel is scary but the pass is a good road, particularly down into Italian side. You often...

Thanks David and Andrew for the advice and for the photo - I think this must be a different wagon - doesn't look as if it would take a caravan! Did either of you go all the way throught to Italy? Alison

Thanks for this - when you say you could not open your door, would you have been able to get out of the car in an emergency?

Peter - try St Bartolemy just outside Bauduen on the road to St Croix. A very quiet, unspoilt small site with one very good toilet block.Although this site is at the opposite end of the Lac de St Croix from the main gorge, it is quieter and there are many small beaches for swimming and...

Has anyone used this train transporter through the mountains? If so would you recommend it and what is the appproach road to Kandersteg like?
