DEADLY FOG hits when driving Austria’s HIGHEST ALPINE ROAD
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- THICK FOG is not the weather conditions you want when driving Austria's biggest mountain; The Grossglockner. But, what incredible driving roads, the route from Slovenia to Austria is one of the most beautiful routes we have ever driven.

Thanks very much for your stunning videos,
Thank you very much xx
:Lovely scenery guys.
You sound like me Lyndsay
“Do you like mountain roads?”
No! I really enjoyed this vlog . The water park looked fabulous !
Lovely family so nice to see the mountains ⛰🏔🏰🌄💚🤎💚
Don’t know if it helps, but for the singles I have 1inch toppers that roll up small with a bungee round. I’ve made covers from single duvet covers, they don’t slip on the bed and dead easy to change change half as many times as sheets as they have two sides! It’s a dream to roll out and set beds up. Great video as always
Great to see the boys, having so much fun.
We’ve done the Grossglockner in fog on a motorbike! a bit hairy!! Love the video ❤
Yikes!!!
wOW that water park looks awesome ! Love watching your adventures in Europe :)
Take care Scouser George..
I love the mountain drives. I normally go over the Austin pass from interlaken to the gothard tunnel to italy
Looking forward the Gross Glockner
Sorry over the susten pass
It’s my favourite Steve
Steve do you have to pay The 40euro toll again if you stay over night on the gross Glockner?
@@stevesswiftkontikiontour649 no
Love your videos. Lighthearted, interesting all-round enjoyment ❤
Ahh.. the smell of brake linings in the morning (convinced the van is going to burst into flames from the wheels up)
Great video again 👍💙❤️
Reminds me of driving up to Mount Teide in Tenerife, we get weather like that all the time here and then you break through the cloud cover at the summit to bright sunshine,
Love your vlogs 🙂 ,Grettings from Denmark.
Got a trapped nerve in my back 9 weeks ago so I’m off work… found you on UA-cam and love your vlogs… I had to cancel my holiday’s but I’ve been all round Europe with yous … keep it going 👍
Yes it’s breathtakingly beautiful !
Ahh welcome along! But I’m sorry to read about your back, I hope you feel better soon.
very cool video. awesome camp site. thanks Don
Regarding adblue consumption
Our 3.5T rollerteam (like the Rucks) but on a ford does 250 miles/litre.
(Just so you've got something to work from)
Anyway. Another. GREAT video
Amazing guys x
That looked like a scary journey
we got 2 boys and our last van we had to put beds up and it was a pain when we was all tired and ratty I had to play van jenga to get to sleep mode so van build number 2 all beds are fixed and would never go back if I was you guys I would buy a bus and convert it to your speck with fixed beds you would never look back it's the best feeling to pull up and get in to a already made bed 🙂
Bed Jenga 🤣🤣🤣
Great video guys, and I was holding on going down that road lol, was just wondering did you see or find the Sound of Music house etc?.
Please be safe. Scotty
We promise x
Love them Austrian mountains not for driving but ⛷ have safe trip loved all your videos 👍
when you say it's "expensive", I feel offended 🤣🤣
Like you we love driving mountain roads. We moved to Spain in 2006. We love it because it has so many mountains. We spent 1mth in 2018 2 mths in 2020 6wks in 2021 and 4 wks this year in the Spanish and French Pyrennes. We have Sierra Nevada a couple of hrs from where we live and we can look out from our flat and see the snow there. Other mountains all around us at Marbella and Ronda 10mins/40mins from home. Plus the one's in the north of Spain that we did this yr. Mountains everywhere. Just love them. But there is an art to driving them. Use your gearbox and you will have no troubles.
Great tip!
I hate driving in fog and also snow
OMG … would not enjoy that journey down the mountain at all! Beautiful scenery or not 🙈
❤love your videos Steve &Lyndsey very informative and you have great family,I’m sure they will appreciate what you have done for them when they get older. They may take you in there camper van when you and Lyndsey get older
Keep up the good work I love it
Thanks Steve, I see you’re having a good binge watch of the videos this morning. Awesome mate enjoy 😉
Would like to know the location of where you park a the night ...many thanks
I’ve put it in the video description but it’s just here maps.app.goo.gl/NqRYiE1uQBauZrvU8?g_st=ic
Kudos to Steve for that drive
I was on the GrossGlockner 10 days after you guys except on 2 wheels - had snow and hail stones at the top, rain, fog, low cloud and sun - all 4 seasons in a couple of hours. My fav road in Austria.
Yikes! Hailstones on 2 wheels!!!
get some stunning views when its not foggy tho
Wow that was scary, listening to you talk about the road conditions and a none working handbrake, as well as spongy main brakes!! if i was scared watching it what must the boys have been thinking hearing this from the back?
it must be tricky trying to balance parenting while making dramatic content...
"DEADLY FOG"
Lol
Don't you exaggerate a bit?
Picture postcard views and scenery 👍👏 Great video and risotto looked yum 😋
We have the 649 be interesting to hear your comparisons
Steve we are going to do the gross Glocknar ? Can we do it without the go box. Did you buy a go box? It looks unbelievable
Steve Lyndsey if I stay over night on the Gross Glockner do I have to pay the 40 euro toll again the next day when we get to the other end or is it a 24 hr ticket
What town was the small theme park in. That would be a good break for my 7year old granddaughter?
Steve any advice for my 5 tonne Kontiki will be most appreciated
We just avoid motorways and you’ll be fine. The small theme park is at the bottom of the grossglockner right next to the tolls
And you just pay when you enter the tolls for the grossglockner road, I guess you could stay for a couple of nights and only pay for the entry
@@RoamingRadfords steve do you pay twice on the gross Glockner if you stay over night?
@@stevesswiftkontikiontour649 no just once on entry
Erm Steve the diesel price back home has not plummeted and is actually going back up
Ian these videos last were filmed back in August when the prices of fuel started to drop back down in the UK
Grossglockner is stunning - we were there just a couple of months ago, the weather was stunning. Sad unable to park anymore. Great vlog folks, thank you.
Wow! That drive looked really scary! Great job. Loved the vlog. 😊
Great video that was scary with all that fog how lovely Austria is love the drone footage glad to see all the family having a nice time
$3.50 a gallon in the US was the best price I got recently Steve, sorry for the bad news😂
Wow how cheap is your gas Jonathon. I just calculated it and at the price we paid in this video works out at $8.18 per gallon 😳
Fair bit of weight in the kontiki to go over the pass, can't you get heavy duty/ completion style pads for such a trip.
We could probably put better pads on and may well do when these are worn but a stop half way down would have been the easy answer for next time.
Did the Grossglocker with my parents in their Morris Traveller in the 60's we were accompanied by their friends in a Mini Traveller, awesome scenery.
Come down in the same gear that you would go up in.👍 Save your brakes for when you really need them.
Good advice Howard, but a 5 tonne motorhome won’t come down these mountain roads with gears alone and require a steady pumping on and off the brakes in order to scrub the speed off.
Great adventures as always x safe travels. ❤
Must admit was amazed the milage you had covered to there , hopefully see you next week at show and pick up a sticker
😊
