The ride down Furker Pass and up the Grimsel has to be one of the most beautiful and exhilarating rides available.

      1. Well, it is beautiful but I certainly meant because it looks like a fairy-tale place to visit. : ) BTW We are hoping to go to the Dordogne Region this summer or early fall. The comments were closed on your article so I thought I’d respond here. Loved the photos! I haven’t been to France in a few years (last was in Nice) so I am looking forward to it.
