The trip is made on 4 with a camper.
Basically it was reported the complete itinerary of the trip to Lofoten, of which this is a small part.

Saturday 12.08.95
After a night drama (in the sense that in the middle of the square there was a medieval dispute between two lovers who took all awake from 2 to 4 am) at 8.30 am departure from the square, a little 'sleepy.
Let the congine between France and Switzerland and stop for lunch in Lucerne. In the afternoon we Furkapass at 2400m where we do some walking tours.
Small remark: the width of the road allows the passage of caravans for only 2 cm! Now this involves a trip to the lateral limit of the rocks and cliffs in case you encounter other vehicles "bulky". For people who suffer from vertigo, like myself, the trip appears beautiful but definitely stressful.
