Driving the Swiss and Italy Alps Part 2 - Campervan Tour

Описание: AsalamoAlakum, We are Tariq and Bushra, a Muslim couple taking the open road in our campervan 🚐✨ Driving through the Furka and Susten passes is an immersion into a landscape that feels almost impossibly vertical. As you ascend, the lush, cow-dotted meadows of the lower valleys quickly give way to a high-alpine wilderness of raw granite and ancient ice. The scenery is defined by its sheer scale; one moment you are staring up at cathedral-like peaks that pierce the clouds, and the next, you are looking down into dizzying ravines where glacial meltwater carves turquoise paths through the stone. The air at these heights—reaching over 2,200m—is incredibly crisp, and the silence of the mountains is broken only by the distant whistle of marmots or the mechanical hum of engines tackling the climb.

The contrast between the two passes offers a complete sensory tour of the Alps. The Furka Pass is rugged and dramatic, dominated by the staggering presence of the Rhone Glacier, which sits like a frozen river of blue-white glass against the grey rock. In contrast, the Susten Pass feels more like a grand, meticulously designed parkway. Its landscape is characterized by wide, sweeping panoramas and the stark, snowy crown of the Sustenhorn. Driving here, you move through a shifting palette of colors: the deep, mossy greens of the slopes, the brilliant white of the year-round snowcaps, and the silver-grey of the mist that often rolls over the ridges, making the entire journey feel like a drive through the clouds.
