Switzerland Rework Discussion

IDK why I thought there was a cosmetics company coming because I checked and it's not mentioned in any of the blogs.

I think it's because you're obsessed with cosmetics. Tell me more about your mother...

Do you drive in Switzerland or do you avoid this area? When the last time I was there I don't even know

Hehe, hello bro. Thanks for your complement.

Next Saturday it will be exactly one month since the Geneva blog (January 25th) and the Bern blog was on December 12th, I wonder if we will get a Zurich blog this month or will it come in March, the difference between the blogs is a month and 13 days

[oldmanclippy]

I think we likely have 1, maybe 2 blogs left for the rework. 1 for Zurich, and a possible additional blog for general nature since we haven't seen a whole lot outside the cities. That's pretty much what we got for Austria: a guess where we are blog, city blogs, and one nature blog.

They could've give us another mountain pass, just saying.
I know the Grossglockner is closed for commercial vehicles, but who wouldn't like some pretty views?

Yes, rhetorical question, I know there are few who don't.

I honestly wouldn’t expect more, all I want is for them to rework the existing mountain roads well: Turin-Bern(St. Bernard pass; E612,E25,SS27,A9,A12), Milano-Zurich (A2,A14) and Milano-Munich (Lichtenstein; A13). The one extra road I would like to see is a direct connection from Bern to A2 through A6.

[oldmanclippy]

I think it's possible we will see a more direct Geneva to Turin connection, France A411 -> A40 -> N205 -> Mont Blanc tunnel -> Italy A5. The Geneva blog says:

It will be possible to drive along the beautiful Geneva lake, ride through the city center, cross the Rhône river with a view of the lake and a famous fountain, and then continue via A40 further East in the direction of France.

The wording is awkward and slightly ambiguous so maybe not, but we could get the big junction in Aosta, Italy. https://www.google.com/maps/place/45%C2 ... 4d7.384994 Right now E25 from Turin magically turns into E27, it's possible we could get both the road that leads to E27 and the road that leads to the Mont Blanc tunnel, from Aosta.

[harishw8r]

Not having Aosta would be a huuuuge miss, IMO. This is my speculated map; some connections might be wildly inaccurate. I have added Vaduz and Basel as small dot cities, though. It could as well be scenic.

At this moment, Turin desperately needs a full rework. All the other cities surrounding the Swiss border are either well-made (Milan, Lyon, Innsbruck, and soon, Stuttgart) or decently far away (Strasbourg, Dijon, Munich). Turin feels like a sore thumb not only due to its proximity to Geneva and Bern, but also because all other cities surrounding Turin (Lyon, Nice, Genoa, Milan) are well-made.
