Many thanks for the responses which provide great food for thought. The points are well made regarding the objectives and consideration regarding spending excessive time driving motorways. Based on your inputs, I have refined my thoughts further and am reckoning on, finding locations where it’s possible to stay two or three days, do the passes but also enjoy the region particularly the vistas, food and nature. The Grossglockner and region seems good for this , any suggestion where I could consider others without the need for too much motorway. Will take a look at Eng to connect with also.
Many thanks all, Ron.
