It's an EXIT sign!

Driving back from Luzerne OVER the Alps

Hairpin curves built into the SIDE of the mountain

The temperature is 0 degrees Celsius

Still 0 degrees and very, very windy!

This is where we need to go to get back to Italy  Should we wind our way down the mountain or just go straight over the side?
