The Susten Pass doesn’t just take you across the Alps — it sweeps you into them. Climbing out of Innertkirchen, the road winds through forests and towering rock faces before opening into dramatic Alpine scenery. Deep valleys fall away below, snow-covered peaks rise ahead, and the Stein Glacier appears in a breathtaking sweep of blue-white ice. Near the summit, the road passes through a mountain tunnel before descending toward Wassen in a series of long, flowing curves that seem made for driving. This is what makes the Susten Pass such a highlight of an Autobahn Adventure — spectacular scenery, exceptional engineering and pure driving exhilaration. The Susten Pass doesn’t just show you the mountains — it lets you feel them.

Leaving Andermatt, the road wastes no time. It climbs hard into the Uri Alps, flowing from fast sweepers into tight hairpins that demand your full attention. The engine echoes off the mountainsides as each turn pulls you higher, the valley dropping away behind you. Passing the tiny hamlet of Tiefenbach, the road becomes even more dramatic — sharp switchbacks, steep gradients and long open sections where the car can stretch its legs between corners. Every bend brings a new view and another reason to keep pushing upward. At 2,431 metres, you crest the Furka Pass with the road twisting away behind you, surrounded by towering peaks and glacial valleys. It is the kind of drive that stays with you long after the engine falls silent.

Grimsel Pass feels tailor-made for a Porsche. Leaving Meiringen, the road climbs through forest before opening into fast, sweeping bends where the chassis comes alive. Turn-in is crisp, the car settles instantly, and each corner flows naturally into the next. Near the summit, Grimselsee and Totensee appear beside the road, framed by granite peaks and dramatic hydroelectric dams. Tight sections reward precision, while faster stretches let the Porsche accelerate hard between bends. With constant elevation changes, sharp steering and strong traction, Grimsel rewards smooth inputs and precise lines. It is one of those rare roads where Porsche and mountain feel perfectly matched.

Dropping into the Klausen Pass, a short stretch of cobblestones sends crisp feedback through the chassis before the road smooths out and the Porsche comes alive. Fast sweepers, tight switchbacks and narrow tunnels demand precise inputs, strong braking and perfectly timed downshifts, while the flat-six soundtrack echoes from the rock walls. Then the forest opens onto a spectacular Alpine plateau, where the road sweeps across the mountainside beneath towering granite peaks. Porsche precision, dramatic scenery and a sensational road combine to make the Klausen Pass pure driving magic.

The Stelvio Pass, the highest paved mountain pass in Italy, cuts through the Alps along the Italian–Swiss border. Riders and drivers have long considered it one of the most spectacular roads in Europe, a ribbon of tarmac that clings to steep slopes and twists through scenery that feels almost unreal. You can climb it from Bormio or from Prato—both in Italy—or approach it from Switzerland via the Umbrail Pass from Santa Maria. But the ascent from Prato is the one that has earned near‑mythical status: 48 tight, stacked hairpins that rise in relentless succession, a sequence made even more famous by Top Gear and often hailed as the finest continuous switchback stretch in the Alps. Reaching the summit, the valley drops away in a panorama that feels carved for postcards. And honestly, there are few better ways to experience this road than from behind the wheel of a 911 Carrera—one of the most balanced, communicative sports cars ever built, perfectly suited to a climb where precision matters as much as power.
