Hairpin Turns and Fondue - A Journey Through Switzerland’s Wildest Passes

Get ready for a wild, winding, and slightly wobbly ride through the highest, steepest, and most exhilarating mountain passes in Switzerland. In Hairpin Turns and Fondue, Wolfgang Prasch takes you on a deeply personal, humorous, and vividly detailed journey over ten iconic alpine roads—from the cobbled madness of the Tremola and the dizzying curves of the Nufenenpass, to reindeer legends on the Julier and the snowy drama of the Bernina.

Blending travelogue with cultural insight and a sprinkle of fondue-fuelled madness, this book is perfect for road trip dreamers, Swissophile adventurers, and armchair travellers alike. Expect historical nuggets, driving tips, dramatic weather, wild goats, a terrifying bridge or two, and the occasional emergency chocolate stop.

This isn't your standard travel guide. It's part comedy, part geography, and all heart. Whether you're behind the wheel or curled up by the fire, Hairpin Turns and Fondue will leave you entertained, enlightened, and possibly reconsidering your next driving holiday.
