Default Travel time to lech

Anybody any ideas on how long it would take to travel from the tunnel -
stopping for fuel and little else?

Cheers

Depends on your chosen route.

Via France or Belgium/Germany

Around about 10 - 12 Hours should be achievable, depending on weather of course.

-------
It takes around 12 hours. 13.5 with stops for breaky and lunch. This
years route was shorter at 625 miles. A26 peage to Reims, A4 to Strasbourg
via Metz. Cross into Germany via Kehl to pick up A5 to Freiburg. 31 via
Titisee (!) to Tuttlingen. A81 then A98, back on 31 to Friedrickshafen then
54 to the A96 just before Bregenz. After that you know the way! Averaged
around 60mph and 30 mpg both ways. Not bad, eh? That's at 130-5kph
cruise on the motorways.

I live in Holland & for many years I used to drive down to Arlberg/St
Anton. Flights are so cheap now & the train is relaxing I dont bother
with the car anymore. However, I do miss those stopover nights in some
quaint Stube in a nice German town :-)
