Did this in the car in snow on Friday.
There was a big sign at the start of the road saying "Not passable in wintry conditions" .... I did question my sanity a few times
Saw an abandoned bike with Italian plates on it half way up!!
What an amazing road!

It never looks the same watching it on youtube

You must have been unlucky as the video I posted was the weekend of the 25th may 2012!! And it was 30 degrees!!
Surely there's more than a few days between your photo and mine???
