Lukmanier Pass and Oberalp Pass

To come back to the camp ground base station I have several choices:

  1. Return back over the Gotthard Pass. This time I would use the new road and make a stop at that kiosk with the gorgeous view.
  2. Take the Nufenen Pass, then the Furka Pass. This would climb nicely high, to two very scenic views.
  3. Take the Lukmanier Pass, then the Oberalp Pass. This is an easy road, also very scenic, passing one of the sources of the river Rhine.

I decide for the option #3: Lukmanier and Oberalp. Going back over the Gotthard would mean just one mountain pass today. And for Nufenen/Furka the weather looks too instable - I am expecting rain any time.

And indeed, once in a while there is a brief drizzle shower.

View into the Blenio Valley from the ramp up towards Lukmanier Pass.


From inside the camper one can choose the big-picture view by parking somewhere with a good view. Here it is just along the road, but when in a more scenic environment, one can have that gorgeous big-window view. Therefore, I have now decided to keep the rear as much as possible transparent. There will be a large plexiglass window front, providing an uninhibited view of the scenery, wherever I am.

For example here at the Oberalp Pass: view of the lake, not far from one of the sources of the River Rhine. 




Very important: the trophy stickers. They are only available on top of the mountain passes.


Unfortunately they had run out of stickers at the Lukmanier Pass... must come there again to get the sticker.
