Default Porsche in Switzerland

For like-minded individuals, I'm living in Switzerland with the C4GTS and have been driving for years in the alps. I have many routs. Anyone who is visiting or needs any guidance, I'm happy to provide. Here's a pic from last weekend in the Emmental region.

Nice picture! Any news on the opening date of the Fuela Pass? I am having a hard time finding a date. We are planing to drive it this Tuesday, May 28th?

I think you mean Flüelapass outside of Davos? I may be late in responding for your drive, but according to this site it's still closed. It's hard to find detail until you drive up to them. https://www.alpen-paesse.ch/en/

My suggestion for a full summer day, getting up early:

Spend the night in Valais (Zermatt, Saas-Fe, other)
  • Furka Pass
  • Susten Pass
  • Grimsel Pass
  • Nuffenen Pass
Spend the night in Ticino (Ascona)

I started the thread then forgot I started it! I agree with Joan Alcover's list. Most don't open until June. Lower passes like the Jaun Pass are open now, as well as great up/back valley roads that aren't passes. DM me if anyone is interested in getting a group together for a drive.

I wonder if the person who bought a black C2S from Greenwich, CT USA about 10 years ago is on this forum. The car had about 6k miles on it at the time and it was amazing. I'd live to see it today and how it has treated you. By the time I arrived at the dealership to see it, you had already (wisely!) placed your deposit.

Hi there,

Just moved to Vaud from the Netherlands, and own a 996 GT3 MK1.
I was wondering if you have advice on a good independent Porsche Specialist in CH (preferably in or close to Vaud)?
Highly apreciated,

thanks

Bonjour / Gruezi all!!

I was wondering if someone could comment a bit on the state of the Porsche market in Switzerland. A friend of mine will likely move from here, the US, to Switzerland next year in the Spring and would probably want to get into a 911 sooner rather than later. He has started to scope out the market but in chatting, we were wondering about the strength of the new car market (are there waiting lines on models such as C2S or C4S like in the US, do cars maintain their value or is it better to go the used / CPO route), on the type of cars that Swiss people like (we are
guessing AWD and PDK, but may be we are off base), whether it makes any sense to consider buying a car in Germany and then importing it in CH, etc. etc.

Any tip for his search would be welcome.

Meanwhile, we will keep scoping out autoscout24.

Thank you in advance for any tips!!
