I just came back from a 6 days, 5 countries Alp Mountains Germany -> Austria -> Switzerland -> France -> Italy offroad trip.
Europa´s most high border Italy/France at 2.744m (= 9.000ft)
Visitung nice cities
See old WW1...
...and WW2 fortifications
Driving at the edge of the Alp Mountains for hours
In no mans countries
Far far away from any food place...
So we had to have lunch sometimes in the middle of nowhere at 2.000 m
Lucky me, I always bring an MRE with me
10 years old "beef stew", great taste and also the FRh worked great!
2nd lunch from same MRE
3rd...
But we also had great Italian and French food!

housil - Your pictures always "deliver"... truly enjoy those spectacular scenic views... question: the Alp Mountains roads you drove for ours, not paved???... one more question: traveling from country to country, no need for passports?

Nope, just graveled (if you have luck) or we drove on the plain rocks. These "streets" were built in/before WW1.

That´s Europa - no need for passports to travel over borders

Great eye there Steve... was too busy looking at the mountains to notice it... me thinks Olli would look sexy in a Florida Gator shirt!
