If you have any hotels you could recommend that would be great. I am thinking about the Fourth of July weekend for our time frame. Also I was thinking of only France and the upper left corner of Italy to drive. We would drive thru teh Western corner of the Black Forrest on our way to the French Alps.

Unfortunately I dont have any hotel recommendations on this route for you because we´ve just been to camp sites.



Our bike trip this year starts at the 4th weekend of july, too, if we catch you, I´m going to attract your attention

Last year on this trip we took the way through black forest, too, but I was a little bit disappointed, so this year we will drive through switzerland and over the furka pass untill we reach the area southerly from the genf lake.

This was last years route:

and this is the route we´ll take this year by bike:

http://motoplaner.de/#v4&48.69765,10...476,1,0,0&&0,0

Maybe we will change some details, e.g. we are not sure yet if this will be the exact route we´ll take on sardegna, also there might some changes in the dolomites, too, its not save yet.

Or drive it clockwise (Sella pass - Gardena pass - Campolongo pass - Pordoi pass). The full lap takes about 75 mins (normal pace).

Trust me, it will be one of the highlights of your trip. Driving pleasure + humbling experience with those huge 'towers' right next to you.



Thank you very much for that advice

I´ve updated the route, now I think it has to be right:
