Planning Swiss trip

[Rustic12]

Hi all . Just starting to plan a trip to Switzerland in September . This will be my first time driving abroad so a little nervous. What will be the best route down? Not after the quickest maybe a stop or two. Where are the must see places to visit , any recomendations on campsites ets. Any help very much appreciated

I've not been that way, but off to France soon.
Enjoy your trip

If you are doing Dover/Calais or Le Shuttle, and want to avoid toll roads

Turn left to Dunkirk
Towards Bruge
Ghent
Brussels
Arlon
Thionnville
Nancy
Basel

Don't discount Germany, the Romantic Road route is fabulous

Keep off the motorways in Switzerland, unless you want one of those vignettes.
The road over the mountains via Domodosolla into Italy is not bad, but think there are better ones.
Innsbruck / Chamonix area is pretty. If you get a chance , and it’s a clear day, go up the cable car to Mount Blanc. I recommend in the afternoon is best, and you’ll hardy have to queue. Plenty restaurants near to the lift area too.

Thanks Grubscrew. Good advice
