Highest altitude Yeti?

[Bobdog]

I was looking at the Yeti forum members pictures thread, and saw Rockhopper's "on top of the world" photo, taken on Hardknott Pass. It got me wondering about the highest roads that people had taken their Yeti on.

My record is the Col du St Bernard, the road pass from Martigny in Switzerland to the Aosta valley in Italy, which I believe is 2469 metres at the summit of the road.

What's the highest altitude your Yeti has been to?

There is quite a slope on the A1m on the way to the A505, after that it's not especially hilly all the way to Norfolk.

Of course, but that's a high road for England (some expert will no doubt be able to tell us if it is England's highest).

I believe this would be the highest possibly any Yeti would have gone yet!

Wow, awesome! I think we need sub-categories. Highest in England, Wales, Scotland, Europe, Asia etc ...

Great pictures Pramod, don't think anyone is going to beat that!

Our Monster was couple weeks ago at Bernina Pass, which is about 2300 metres high. It was parked there between a Lagonda and Morgan, some swiss had an od-timer drive meeting there.

When driving to the Mortirolo Pass we took the shortest road from Aprica and got some nice 20 % climbings.

OK, I can't beat 5359m asl (above sea level)

How about 1500ft ayl (above yeti level)

So I've twisted it round from how high has your Yeti been, to how high have you been above your Yeti.....and got a pic....sort of

[ParaYeti]

Oh yeah, to prove the Yeti was there. Here's a shot the opposite way round. (Doussard car park, Lac Annecy, France, last week)

The highest ours has been is a paltry 625 metres up the Bealach Na ba from Applecross to Tornapress, but although it is only the 3rd highest pass in Scotland,, it is the greatest ascent as it is from sea level.

All being well it will be going over the Lecht, at 644 metres, and the Cairnwell Pass, at 670 metres, later this year

[Brijo]

....going over the Lecht, at 644 metres....

Did the Lecht, Tomintoul to C*ck Bridge, during our tour earlier this year (but it wasn't in the Yeti that we're still waiting for!). An undramatic road, CFB - don't be disappointed.

About 2,300 metres to Franz Josef's Hohe on the Grossglockner in Austria.

Thanx for the heads up. Any decent tea stops near there?

Can't remember about Tomintoul itself. I think you're travelling northbound? - then Ballater would be a good bet. Lovely pasties from the local baker there, near the big car park.

Yup, north this time as we have been the other way round twice.
