I need to plan a route for summer in the swiss mountains but some of the roads are closed at the moment because of snow, Is there a site l can do this on ?

All the sites l have tried wont let me put the exact route in :(
 
Best idea is to download some routes to a software programme (eg. basecamp or mapsource) and edit the details from there, before transferring to your nav device.
 
MyRoute allows a passage up the Stelvio, too. I have though disabled seasonal closures.
 
OP, if you really want to use Google maps, here’s how to force it to route up passes that are currently shut.

Change the departure date. Here’s an example, using the Stelvio pass, which is definitely closed at the moment.

If you go today, the western approach is shut:

But change the date to the 14th of July and it’s open, allowing you to hoon up the western approach, all the way to the top and down the eastern side.
