very scary moment I cant tell you.. especially as there are no barriers on those roads..

Other then that no problems at all... When you planning on going?
Sounds like you've had unforgettable experience.
We are going 6th of October, first night in Switzerland, then through Alps to Monako, Garda, Innsbruck, GrossGlockner, Praha, Berlin, Brussel.
I'm a bit worry about Austria as there is snowing from time to time now.
Think I will have to keep an eye on the weather and see if it get worse or not. In case of any problems on the road there I can always put chains on my wheels, cant I?
