Travelling back from Lake Orta area in N Italy, we travelled to the Simplon Pass to reach our first overnight stop in Sion.

Imagine our delight to find that a landslide has closed the pass "for the foreseeable future"

I recommend;-

  • The Shuttle rather than Ferries - so simple, and flexible in time of tunnel trip [2 hrs leeway either side]
  • Keep to motorways wherever possible - more expensive, but less stressful to dogs than meandering roads
  • limit journey times to 2 hrs between doggie stops - french service areasÌýare often pretty good for dogs walking.
  • Max journey time -Ìýabout 5 hrs max a day - for the dogs' sake, not yours
  • Accomodation on the way down - look at Logis De France - shows hotels that accept dogs in rooms and restaurants [if you want to ]
  • Favourite Route with dogs -ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý calais -Ìýdijon -Ìý Besancon - Switzerland [vignette needed] simplon pass, then on to autostrada to Milan and beyond

    Personally, I always use local designers and Contractors - based on recommendations from neighbours.The advantage of doing so is that they [both designer and contractor] know how the local Comune works - its 'local interpretaion' of standards etc etc.Using locals keeps your neighbours happy - no 'foreigners' working on their patch. [by foreigners, i mean anyone who lives more than a couple of kms away], money being kept local etc etcÌýStill ......................................... each to his own.

    Bit more info required please.

    • Holiday Home or permanent resident?
    • WhereÌý are you moving stuff from?

    ÌýAssuming its Trumpton that you are moving from;-

    • ÌýÌý Why ship anything over? - buy local - especially wiht the state of dollar vs euro
    • ÌýÌý Car - good luck with that - probably also cheaper to buy locally than tryu tp re-register it over in Italy [It could fall to bits before the costly bureaucratic processes are completed, [if ever].= and you need to be Resident to do it

    Others wiill have much more good advice to give.ÌýGood luck
