Is it safe to drive a Motorhome on the Swiss Alps during Winter? [closed]
We are planning a motor-home trip to Switzerland where the plan is basically to do sightseeing and staying away from crowd cities.
I would like to ask if it's safe/doable in general to drive motorhomes (more than 7 meters long) in the mountains during winter? Assuming the driver hasn't any experience in driving on the snow/motorhomes, but has already driven on the mountains before.
I know the question seems very naive, but I think it is also extensible to the quality of the roads in Switzerland during winter for this kind of driving. Since I don't know many people who drive motor homes, I am worrying that a plan like this is completely crazy and should not be pursued, so I would apprecite input from others, whether this is reasonable or not.
