The real problem is that this road is so narrow in some places that when a car comes the other way it forces you far too close to the cliff edge, sometimes your tires can be only inches away and there is absolutly nothing to stop you going over and the snow did not help, but then again, thats what makes this really interesting. I'll put up a few more photos later....

Keep the pics and the commentary coming though, loving this armchair alpine adventure! Dave.
