Alps Tour 18th July - 1st August 2015

[Akuji]

To add further temptation a trip us this little 'ill is probably on the cards as we pass within spitting distance. It's not cheap but there is nowhere in Europe you can get higher as a tourist and still have your feet on the ground.

Hi AJ

I may be up for this!

Been to Switzerland many times, recommend andermat as a good place to stay as it sits on a plane surrounded by four great alpine passes, grimsel and furka are brilliant.

Grant

I second that Grant. In all the alpine riding I've done, those 4 passes centred on Andermatt have to be the best.

Centrally located for Groos Glockner and others, this bikers hotel well known on UKGSer might be of interest.http://www.hochalmspitze.com/

Not the cheapest or best value, but there is a good atmosphere with other bikers and it's a handy place for clothes washing half way thru a trip.
