Hi, maybe I'm little bit insane, I'm going to plan a trip to Prague (from Italy) for the first days of February... Do you know if is it really dangerous going there by car? I mean, snow and everything? I'm planning a route thruogh Switzerland, Austria, Germany and then Czech (should be the best one). I wasn't able to find a site like "autostrade" where you can see in real time which is the highway traffic condition... Thanks in advance for any advice!
I've driven from Frankfurt, down through Switzerland, Austria and then to CR, no problems. This was in early spring however, and I didn't travel through the Swiss Alps. I can't imagine it being that much of a problem though..
Thank you for the reply. I'm just concerned about the "cold wave" that is hitting Europe in these days... and I don't have first hands informations about highways conditions. Kind regards

Ciao Cecco, so the only problem is Swiss... if San Bernardino is ok there should be no any other problem, right? The route you are suggesting is pretty unconfortable for me... I'm leaving from Milan... Then Brennero is always jammed, or not? Grazie! Ciao
....mhmmm... well actually the real problem is that san bernardino pass is at almost 2000 mts above the sea level..... and therefore it can easly snow there and a lot. from milan it'snot too complicated.... i used to pass via milan many times before they started( and never finished) the works on the torino milano, the brenner is a little bit longer/expensive but definitely faster..... and always open.....instead that'ssomething i cannot say about the bernardino.... nevertheless the trip is your.... as well as the time and the nerves.... so i can only recommend youto switch the radio on and listen carefully the news about the roads!!!! i again invite youto try to use www.viamichelin.com , it's a reliable/free/smart web site that will give you alot of information about the better route for your trip Take care cecco angiolieri....... ciao e in bocca al lupo
Hi Velox, I think that the route suggested by Cecco is also the most followed by people traveling from the North West of Italy to Prague. I have traveled by car from Milan to Prague only once but we also went that way. The buses I have taken also went through the Brenner Pass and never had problems with snow (and it was December/January). Lorenzo
Thanks for your advices! It seems now weather is really good in Switzerland, I think I'll try the shortest route... hope the weather we'll be wiht me! Ciao!
