*************************************************
Stelvio 3.0 ?
August 29th/30th/31st...
I'd like to start planning out of Alpine tour for this year. I know some of you guys expressed an interest in going to another place(Pass) besides Stelvio. But the more I think about it... I really like the idea of using Francesca's Post Hotel as a Base for the weekend of our tour. And I know we will have some "newbies" joining in on the fun this year. So I'd like to hear what everyone thinks. ?
Here is what I am thinking... we meet on a Friday afternoon in Trafoi(BZ, Italy). This is at the base of the Stelvio mountain pass. Saturday and Sunday we will head out on some mountain passes. I'd like to do the Rambo Pass(Near Solden, Austria).
I also want to hit up the Sella Pass in the Bozen area. Maybe we could also do some Swiss Passes before or after our main event on the weekend. I know some of us will want to get in as many passes as possible.
So lets discuss what everyone wants/thinks/needs out of an Alpine Tour.
Also... WHAT time of the year should we go? I was thinking late June to late July. Does anyone have a Preference?
Grimsel Pass
Furka Pass
St. Gotthard Pass
San Bernardino Pass
Fluela Pass
Ofen Pass
Umbrail Pass
Stelvio Pass
Gavia Pass (this one was too dam scary to do again!)
Nockalmstrasse
Gerlos Alpenstrasse
