Alps

[nhsdave]

Hi Guys

I'm looking for anybody that may have a route they would recommend for a 2 week tour of the Alps. I'm really looking for a pre-planned route (i know eh cake and eat it  ) if possible that i can tweak. Any good recommendations would also be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance all

All my road books to do the RGA (route des grandes Alpes) and come back by the route Napoleon are to be downloaded on this link :

you just have to change the starting point

What we tend to do is have a base somewhere for a few days and explore that area then move on somewhere else and repeat. It's ideal as you can get unpacked, ditch the panniers and just ride without any unnecessary weight & bulk. Davos is a great place for a few nights as is Nauders in Austria with loads of passes to play on for many days.

Ditto, otherwise I find you spend loads of time packing/unpacking and also you can normally find a town with several good rides nearby.

Previously I've stayed in Briancon in France (near lots of Cols used in the Tour de France), Interlaken in Switzerland (can do the 3 amazing passes, Grimsel, Susten & Furka), Merano (Stelvio & Timmelsjoch passes) & Cortina D'Ampezzo in Italy (Dolomites).

Not done too much in the east of Switzerland or Austria, I imagine theres plenty of good roads to find.
