When you drive through the Alps during the autumn everything is calm and quiet, a complete opposite to the busy wintry ski season. Our first road trip started in Dornbirn, Austria, where we had watched the European Championships in gymnastics. After a quick stop in the popular ski resort St. Anton, we crossed the Swiss border and continued to Disentis/Mustér, known to offer great off-pist skiing during the winter. From Disentis we drove over the Oberalppass to Andermatt, carried on towards Realp and took the 15-minutes Furka car-train through the Furka tunnel to Oberwald. From there it wasn’t far to Zermatt where we had planned to stay over the night. The following day we drove into France past Chamonix, Argentiere and Albertville before ending our trip in Grenoble.
