I reckon end of June onwards should be safe enough, St Moritz had heavy snow the week before we left!....Middle of May! :o It was very warm while we were there, 30 degrees one day...so the snow should be melting away!
 
Awesome place need to do a driving holiday would like to go on my own but can be a pain without a co driver was thinking of driving to Le-Mans on my own this year but the Tolls would be a pain keep jumping out and running around the car then trying to overtake slow traffic on the N roads is a nightmare
 
:thumbsdown: Yep pain in the A having to get out of the car to get the ticket and then to pay! Though that said the roads are good and not too busy which helps :)
 
Great pics. I love driving in the Alps. The Dolomites are lovely too - Bolzano to Cortina area. One thing - you need to include the car in the shots more! Like this:

Road from Bormio to Stelvio Pass:

Passe Di Madonna, Italy (car had a thorough thrashing up a lovely quiet, wide 30 odd mile climgb to get here)

Delle, Belgium - OK, not exotic, but the sunlight just worked nicely from our lunchtable

Even the traffic jams can be picturesque in Switzerland:

Lunchtime in the Dorgdogne (near those cave drawings - forget the name)

This summer I have two or three Alpine trips lined up for the Z4 - I'm taking my Dad down to Nurburgring/Grindelwald/Jungfraujoch in early July, then with the other half to SW Germany and Austria later in July.
