For many years now I have used the likes of 'mappy', 'via michelin' etc for calculating different routes down to Italy - for us its a part of our holiday, so we don't always want to take the quickest/shortest route down. We prefer to vary the rou

Useful comment on Accor Hotels - I usually use them anyway.

Charlie - many thanks
[It loaded before I could put any text in it!] We're soon to get a dog. Eventually we intend to drive down with it to Italy for longish holidays. Normally, when driving down, we go through Switzerland Has anyone driven through Switzerland with a dog? If so - are there any special requirements/pitfalls/tips for getting through Switzerland?
