Thanks for sharing. They must have closed the entire mountain for the duration.

Yes, they did. 8-)

Even though it is a toll road, it still gets busy as it's so amazing. :)

It's great to see it from the air in that film, isn't it, to see the scale and shape.
May/early June is probably best. The road is clear of snow, but there are remnants of snow on the higher bits for decoration. 8-)

Yes fascinating to have the birds eye view. Must admit I was concentrating on the road most of the time so not much opportunity to take in the scenery! :o

Stunning photography - both stills and video footage.

Great selection of Porsches too, from real classics to the Mission E prototype.

Thanks for sharing! :)
