Why this guide
Almost none of these roads has a toll. What stops you is a timetable, and now a booking.
44 driving roads across the Italian Alps, the Dolomites, the Apennines and the Swiss and Austrian passes that cross into Italy, one page each: what the road is like to drive, what stands between you and it in 2026, when you may drive it, up to four places worth stopping for, and a button that opens the whole route in Google Maps. 1,321 km of road, every line drawn from OpenStreetMap and checked to reach the towns its page names.
The gate is a clock
Three of the roads in this guide charge a toll on the road itself. What closes the others is a traffic light that lets cars into Austria for fifteen minutes an hour, a national park that admits 350 cars a day above its dam, and passes that shut to engines on published days. Each page says which.
Dates from the bodies that set them
The Nivolet's quota is the Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso's page, the Agnello's opening the Provincia di Cuneo's, the Swiss dates the cantons' joint portal, the Tre Cime toll the Comune di Auronzo's resolution. Where a page rests on a motoring site, the page says so.
A line that reaches the town it names
Every one of the 44 lines was drawn from the OpenStreetMap extracts and measured against the endpoints printed under its map. Where a road is unnumbered for a stretch, as the Great St Bernard's Swiss ramp is, the line was routed over the real road rather than across the gap.

Questions
Anything else: info@outforadrive.com
What does Edition 2027 mean?
You download the current guide the moment you pay, with every toll, gate hour and opening date as read for the 2026 season. Each is then checked again for 2027, and the rechecked edition is emailed to you free by 1 May 2027. The roads, routes and GPX tracks do not expire. Every guide, in the 2027 Edition (all seven guides in one checkout) or bought on its own, gets its rechecked edition this way.
What if a road is shut when I go?
Every page prints the road's season. Where the season has dates, the Start Here page on your phone checks today's date and says whether the road is open now, shut for winter, or which month it opens.
Does it work with my navigation app?
The GPX tracks load into komoot, Kurviger, Calimoto, OsmAnd and Garmin. If your car's own navigation cannot import a GPX file, tap Drive the route on the page: the whole road opens in Google Maps on your phone, and from there on CarPlay or Android Auto. Apple Maps and Waze get the start of the road.
Is it for motorcycles too?
Yes. The roads are the same on two wheels, and where an operator bars motorcycles, the road's own paragraph says so. All three toll roads print the motorcycle toll beside the car's.
Is this a printed book?
No. It is a download: an A4 PDF with one page per road, a Start Here page for your phone that works with no signal, and a folder of GPX tracks. Print the PDF on a home printer if you want paper.
Can I give it as a present?
Yes. Buy it as usual, then write to info@outforadrive.com with the name and email address of the person it is for. A download link of their own is emailed to them, the licence passes to them, and the rechecked 2027 edition goes to their address too. Fresh links from the re-download page still go to the address you paid with.
What if it is not for me?
Ask for a refund within 30 days. One line is enough, and no reason is needed.
