This is such an absolutely AWESOME route you guys! And just Loving the German "Toyota driver" sense of humour 😅😅😅👌

Great video. Love seeing the LR3 being actually used to explore, not just go round a track. Keep them coming. And yes, I did enjoy the video 😁

Beautiful weather, amazing scenery and incredible ruins! I can’t believe how few people there are up. If that was in Australia every man and his dog would be up there. I’d love to see it some day. Great video too guys. Cheers.

Christian and Vera. Thank you for sharing your trip with us.

I would love to do this in my Discovery but am not brave enough to drive on those thin mountain passes!

Vera - such a champion for being a spotter on those switchbacks 😁

That looks like tremendous fun - and a Land Rover being used for its intended purpose! I can see why you do it 🙂

Thank you so much for the great video. What a beautiful trip, and as always, the funny banter between the both of you is so refreshing and genuine. Please keep the videos coming. 👍👍

Looks like a great adventure! Some of those high gravel roads looked challenging. I was just eating a piece of toast with peanut butter when the topic of the French and toilets came up... 🤢

Fantastic video we went up one of those single track roads in 2006 in Italy in My Disco 2 with 4 children and my wife Kathy after the first 30 minutes she got out with the 3 Girls and Oscar my son and I rode in the car all the way up and down!!!! She would not go in the car, to be honest I was a bit scared but we made it. Just done 3000 miles around southern France and Beautiful Northern Spanish coast in Disco 3 with a freshly re built auto box. She ran like a dream and averaged 32.8mpg. Love your content so inspiring and yes Christian those Forts should be restored and maintained for future generations. So sad they are in such a state.

Incredible scenery and all those very tight turns. Well done to the LR3 and yourselves sharing your adventure with us.

That’s some quality driving, hats off to you sir well done

Amazing adventure. I was squirming in my seat at times watching this video. Nothing like that in Australia.

This road is really literally breathtaking. One mistake and you will come crashing down. But the adrenaline rush is really worth it. Great driving Christian! Drive safe

You two are such a great couple

Wow, what beautiful views. The Disco doing what it was designed to do.

Glad I have a eBike now with my old worn out knees, I could enjoy a ride up there still. Looks great and a great Video LR.

My father-in-law had the same reaction when I took him up the Tatra mountains. He was hanging on for dear life 😂😂😂

Wow - what a great video - hope you both had a fantastic time (it seemed like you did). Vera - I was also saying "oh my god" as you drove round those very narrow twisty tracks that had a sheer cliff to one side... Hope the LR3 was ok and you got home easily (no breakdowns).

Wow some beautiful views what an adventure. Cant believe you just thought cant be bothered to wait I shall go through the red light, like vera would say "oh my god cant believe you" 😂😂 would love to have seen the faces of the people in line waiting and the people coming back the other way 😂😂😂. This certainly beats a boring laying on a beach holiday. Great to see your land rover roughing it out on those rugged roads, makes you appreciate these types of vehicles

All we wanted was to get on that 4x4 track. We did not expect it to be part of the road shut down. That is why we took the leap and went beyond the red light. 😅👍🙋‍♀️Vera

Outstanding. Thanks for sharing the journey.

You guys are so brave. I don't think I could drive that.

Some scary passes you did with a sheer drops, OMG.

Wow that was amazing.

Another great Vid. Thanks!

Fantastic. Loving the video. So nice to see the d3 being used as nature intented. 😅 Absolutely breath taking views as well. Thank you both.

Thank you.

Good Sunday morning going to enjoy your video 👍👍👍😊😊😊😊☺️☺️☺️

Amazing scenery

Great video thanks for taking us with you.

Another superb video by this great team!

That freaked me out watching you drive on those narrow ‘roads’.

Thanks for the video 👏

Thanks for sharing 😁. We drove those roads for the first time in July/August after seeing your videos from 2020 and 2021. Great to see you still heading up there. As you say the Wow factor is massive. Its such an amazing landscape. We're heading back again next year. Hope to bump into you up in those hills one day. 👍

Great video again , so much content , and I just love your sense of humour, xmas again 😀

Fabulous video! Some of those tracks look scary!!! 😱

I thought i was watching a video from 2 years ago ! 😂 I suppose when you have seen one Fort you have seen them all . Great content and great driving Christian 👌

wunderbar, schurn, I wish I'd have been there, trop belle vraiment you handled it well with good grip, this was my fave vid of yours, danke

Brilliant video guys, makes all the maintenance worth while when you see such beautiful scenery and the ability to travel on such amazing roads... You were so lucky with the police, guess it's because you had a beefy off-road vehicle 😁

great journey cool car!

Great view. Beautiful trip. Love to know the history of the forts

Just loved this exploration and as Vera would say 'Oh my God" at some of those narrow tracks. Well done you two. Great fun and wonderful that you shared it with other LR drivers. Good luck from Australia.

Great video. Very adventurous driving and brilliant sense of humour too.

Absolutely wonderful video, thank you. Some heart-stopping points though, when the wheels got so close to the edge with a sheer drop. 😱

Thank you Christian and Vera for taking us on a very picturesque journey! Really enjoyed the footage and the driving conditions. So many rules in France, I am glad the Gendarmes were kind to you when you got to the checkpoint. Keep up the great work, we look forward to your videos every week. Stay well and all the best.

Excellent video very interesting thank you.

Absolutely, brilliant videos guys. I especially like that the French woman believed that you broke down lols, I bet that the French car in front of you got fined double

YIKES 😳 Those track drop-offs 😳 Awesome trip and good to see the bikes out and about.

That was great although I must say my heart was in my mouth most of the time with the narrow passes (especially when the footage is sped up). Stunning and peaceful scenery though. Got to love the mountains!

That looked like a very nice vacation. Thank you for taking us along with you. Those old forts are amazing, too bad no history on them - yes you are right about our US forts and historical sites.

Amazing seeing the construction of those forts. Cut stone & Quoins around the windows, just like you’d see in a town centre government building, at that altitude. Superb craftsmanship. Imagine being stationed there in winter 😬 Great work by Vera in guiding Christian. Super fitness. A really enjoyable video 👍👍

Entertaining as usual and a lot of good humour. Handling the big disco on the dangerous narrow mountain passes like a pro with an eager spotter to handle the most demanding obstacles. I wouldn't dare to ask my wife to run forward in a rain storm. 😉 You have a compressor under the hood just to pump tires? Wouldn't that be possible to do it with the suspension compressor? You don't need a lot of air to do that and if im right the air reservoar has 17 bar of pressure to run the suspension. A conection for an external tube would probably be possible. Keep up with the good work on the disco's and other entertaining stuff for us. I really like to watch!👍💪

Класс! Красивые горы!

Absolutely stunning views from your trip. What a gorgeous part of the world you live in. Here in Ireland I could only compare it to the Burren in Co. Clare, but not as big!! Keep up the fabulous content.

As is usual a totally enjoyable episode of LR Time, an amazing and pretty tricky landscape to traverse, you wouldn't want to go off the side of any of those trails in your LR or on your bicycle, it seems so steep and long way down. Bonus the Disco 3 didn't fail-to-proceed once in the whole trip. Vera, you are a "Wonder Woman" the amount of trail walking/running/riding that you do. How old would those fortifications be that you camped at?

Amazing views, what a great way to see the Alps 👍.Also great driving skills Christian, some of those roads looked really dodgy! Actually, some of those roads looked like some of our roads in the UK. Currently on holiday with the D4 and caravan in Lincolnshire, a complete opposite of where you've been.....very flat 😂. Anyway, really good video, looking forward to next Sunday. Take care

Breathtaking views. Your English is wonderful, especially your American expressions. 😀

Cheryl and I watched this yesterday morning. We were really looking forward to part 2 of your vacation and were not disappointed. The scenery was amazing, and you and Vera are genuinely entertaining. There is no way we could have done this. We're too afraid of heights. My palms were sweating just watching it. I love the illegal part of your drive. Reminds me of my next door neighbor Daryl who went into a convenience store, grabbed a coke, slapped fifty cents on the counter; and when the attendant said, "Hey, it's a buck sixty-nine", Daryl just said, "A coke is fifty cents" and walked out the door with it. You guys should get a dog, but they're more work than having a kid.

I also have a Suzuki Jimny for excursions into the Australian Alps and I was thinking they are more suitable for those roads. Very spectacular scenery.

@LR Time Loved the trip! I'm too poor to tour Europe myself but vids like this make it nice to see! And you're not wrong, the American "historic sites" are WAY too overdone, but, they do generate decent money for the State & Federal Parks that otherwise get $0 for maintenance & such. I live in Texas and even the Alamo makes me a little sick. It's not even the real Alamo! It's one of those "what-if projects" done back in the 60's. But it makes a fortune in money annually. Who knows where the Alamo money goes
