It’s also getting crowded in Switzerland and Austria
The traffic situation in Switzerland and Austria is likely to take a similar course to that in Germany. The Tauern, Fernpass, Brenner, Rheintal and Gotthard routes are at risk of congestion. According to ACE, traffic jams in front of the Gotthard tunnel can already occur on the latter from Wednesday afternoon.
–
It also gets tight at access roads in leisure regions. The ADAC in Austria cites the Carinthian lakes, the Salzkammergut and Lake Neusiedl as examples. For Switzerland, the recreational areas of the cantons of Ticino and Valais are mentioned.

Anyone planning an Alpine road tour should be aware that some passes are currently still closed. The last passes will be released in June. Random checks cannot be ruled out in border traffic. However, due to the easing of entry regulations in many countries, things are progressing much faster than a few weeks ago, according to the ADAC.
