Hello @ all at the winter pass trip was mentioned one or the other time that one imagined a cruising over alpine passes. Starting from this and that the Alpenrace 06, the winter pass trip 07 and the Alpenrace 07 all take place mainly in the region of Bündnerland and Ticino, I thought about doing something completely different. I would imagine a real cruising along lakes and mountains. Enough time also counted for catering photos and maybe a small excursion with a mountain railway. I thought about the following route: On the 1st day about 9.00 meeting place somewhere in the Bern area. Drive to the largest local Volvo dealer (about 200 – 300 Volvos exhibited!) then further towards Bernese Oberland, along Lake Thun to Interlaken and then up to Beatenberg (longest village in Europe) at best with the mountain railway to the Niederhorn from where you have an incredibly fantastic view. Lunch. Down again. Continue on the other side of Lake Thun to Spiez and then through the Simmental to Schönried, Gstaad and further to the French part of Lake Neuchâtel. Dinner and stay somewhere in the area. The next day over the Mosses down into the Unterwallis. A piece along the Lake Geneva then through the Rebberge to Lake Neuchâtel. Along the Lake Neuchâtel (Jura side) continue around Lake Murten (Lunch) to m Bielersee (depending on time visit of the St.Petersinsel) along Bielersee and back to Bern. The route is only an approximate idea – details have to be clarified. Now I wanted to hear here if there is any interest for such a thing? If so, I would take care of a more detailed route. So, now let go ! Gruss Stephan
