This route is an amalgam of ones I’ve tried in the past, when I had the time available [it will probably add at least 2 or 3 hours, and possibly more, to the normal journey time.] Usually, when crossing Switzerland I do the motorway route [Mulhouse - nip into Germany for the “Basle Bye Pass” – then Lucerne – St Gotthard Tunnel – Italy], but for a really scenic route, I would suggest the following options Motorways as far as Lucerne, then a few km after passing Lucerne take the A8 towards Sarnen and Lungern. Off onto a minor road to Meitingen and then up the Grimselpass [on the 6-11 road] to Gletsch. At Gletsch you then have the option of either;- Left [my preferred option] - [on the 19 road] to the Furka Pass and on the St Gotthard Pass [great views and a coffee shop at the top] and onto the motorway to Milan passing Lugano, or Right - [again on the 19 road] to Brig [Interesting drive – but you miss the panoramic views on the other option], through the Simplon Pass and onto the motorway near Domodosola and thus on to the motorway [passing Lake Maggiore on your left] to Milan or Genova. Hope this helps
have you looked at

You'll find lots of info here. For example, if you do a search on driving to Italy you'll find lots of advice on the various routes to take. Interesting blog
You could try sending coseperlacasa a PM - he seems to have a van that does the trip now and again. Also jagodog says [in a previous posting] that he will be driving from Sardinia to UK at the end of Oct and returning in Nov. He has a transit size van

"i can only do 350 miles on a tank of diesel and this doesn't include towing i have a few Jerry cans but it doesn't seem to be a realistic option ..........As i would need over 10 cans to get to Italy." But if you take the Luxembourg - Besancon - Aosta route I detailed above, and filled the tank at the service station just before you leave Luxembourg - you'd only need to get about an extra 100 - 200 miles worth of Diesel [5 to 10 gallons max - 2x5 gallon Jerry cans] even allowing for towing Or am I missing something?
