How this was calculated
Roadlegs asked the public Valhalla routing service for a car route on OpenStreetMap data on 5 October 2026, then cut it into days of up to 450 km or 8 hours. Change those limits, add stops and choose your own nights in the planner. Roads, closures and mountain passes open and close with the seasons, so check the current situation before you go.
