RT20 - Day 11

So the options seem to be between:

1. A long day in the "saddle" as it were arriving later than usual at the hotel in Lenzkirch in the Black Forest
2. Cutting Lenzkirch for a shorter day and booking a hotel further south
3. Reverting to Plan A and miss out the Furka and Grimsel passes
4. Cut one day from Como and have a stop in Switzerland nearer the passes!
5. Buy the bloody motorway vignette

In the end after checking hotel booking sites options 2 to 4 seemed to fade away.  

• Switzerland is more expensive than I want to pay for hotels. 
• After coming this far missing out the passes simply isn't on.
• Como to the passes is only 81 miles.

So it looks like it will be the long day. I haven't ruled out the vignette for the motorways though.  

I'll make an alternative Day 10 in MyRouteApp to see how that pans out. It adds expense but with Option 2 looking like £50 a night more for a hotel with the same level of comfort, inclusive breakfast and free parking as Lenskirch, it makes the 40CHF seem good value to speed our exit up!

Day 10 Part One

Part One above is the same non-toll route from Como into Switzerland and as far as the Furka/Grimsel passes.

Day 10 - Part Two

Part Two is now a separate route picking up from where Part One ends and taking us over more passes and winding roads until we meet the A8.  

Overall, both parts added together knock two hours off the original Day11 all  non-toll route. So we have plenty of time to stop and take in the clean mountain air.
