Its maybe a little bit out of the way, but the trio of passes Susten, Grimsel and Furka pass form a triangle. They are South East of Bern, down past Interlaken but they are the best motorcycle roads i have ever ridden Very Happy Would highly recommend, easy to spend a day doing them all one way and then the other. Fantastic views, plenty of places to stop for eats etc..

should easily be doable, I got from the Maloja pass to Rappersville in a day back in 2015, taking in the St Gothard(Tremola), Splugen, St Bernadino, Furka, Grimsel, Susten pass and the Klausen pass. one of the best days riding I have ever done even though the weather was a bit shite at times.
If I was the OP, I would head to St Moritz from Bern, Then plot a decent route home from there. Imo the less overnights in Switzerland the better. Very good roads but the cost of living is very high.

Can't argue with above. 3 great passes and by July there should be little chance of them being closed. Grimsel was still closed in early June last year.
