When I visited the ring, 600 km from Lausanne, I did it in a single day, less than 24 hours actually, and I slotted in a Ferrari day and 6 laps on the NS, but we were two ppl driving... doable...
Sadly from where I live now, it's more like 700 km

680 Km!? Thats it!! I drove from Northern Washington to home in one day, by myself, TWICE. Roughly 18hrs of driving not including stops and about 1200+ miles. That was no fun, but I had my reasons.
Anyway, I would say go even if its not open and especially if its all paid for. Like TT said, what else you got to do? Work?

The Nordschleife is open for public driving during the winter, but only if there's no snowfall or ice. Since it's likely to snow during the winter, the NS is closed most of the time for the public.
@ Mihals: if you want to spot some prototypes this also isn't the best time to do so. If I'm not mistaken there isn't any prototype testing on the Ring itself the last week of December and the first week of January
