You're an alpine
aficionado.
Keep an eye on the alpine roads info (open/closed passes):
http://www.alpen-journal.de/alpenser...penpaesse.html
http://www.alpenpaesse.co/
http://www.alpineroads.com/passstatus.php

Dropdown menu: "Typologie": "Aktuelle Lage" [Current Location] - "Berg- und Passstrassen" [Mountain and Passes] - "Radarkontrollen" [Speed Control] - "Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel" [Public Transport] - "Ausserhalb Tirol" [Outside Tirol] - "Baustellen" [Road works])
So for the current status of mountain passes, select "Berg- und Passstrassen" ("Wintersperre" = closed because of Winter)
In "Zeitraum" [Time Frame] choose your date of preference
The 2013 Swiss motorway vignette is still valid until 31 January 2014 (
