Planning to stay there mid July for a couple of days :-)
Will be staying in St. Moritz and make a couple of tours from there.
The Julier an Splügen is on the list aswell as Nufenen and the Tremola.

Nice. Brings back memories of my honeymoon, when we drove down this road towards Italy. We were in a Miata rented in Geneve. Wonderful and fun road. I'll never forget coming out of the alps, where it was low 70's and into Domodossola, where it was 90F+. There, I decided on a "shortcut" towards Ascona. That road followed a river gorge and it was a nightmare due to blind curves, Italians crossing the median around those curves, the heat, and my lovely wife, who was disgusted with the whole thing. After an hour of this, we stopped in a little village to cool off and have some water.
Once we were talking again, I looked around and relaized I knew this place! It was where my girlfriend and I (another gal) got stuck between borders because she didn't have her passport. The Italians let us leave, the Swiss wouldn't let us in, and then the Italians wouldn't let us back in! We waited 5 hours there until her parents in Zurich faxed the passport.
Anyway, it turned out nicely for my wife and I. We stayed at the Villa D'Este for 2 days and then hightailed it back into Switzerland to Vitznau because it was so damn hot in Como. Gute Reise, Swissguy!

The forecast for the next two days is about 99 which is pretty hot for over here..
We plan to do the Sustenpass,
The Grimsel
The Nufenen which will take us to the Italian part of Switzerland. (not to Ascona!:-))
Back to the german speaking part via the old cobbled pass road Tremola to the Gotthard
and towards home via the Furkapass
Mileage is pretty bad and the tires will suffer (so does my wife ;-))
Will post pics.
