Route to lake Garda

bald bloke:
Franglais surely the Simplon is too far out the way for Lake Garda !!

I had a look at mont blanc on Google maps.
There was an old hymer right up there.
Don’t fancy using motorways once I’m in the area.
It will be part of the adventure.
I hope.
Tbh I had a look this weekend and it wasn’t easy to plot a route.
Having said that, it was only on my tablet, not a decent road atlas.
