Solo alps trip?

[Cabrony]

Has anyone done a solo trip round the Alps? Hoping to combine riding with a road trip and camp for a couple of days, ride and drive around and then move on.

Has anyone got any hints, tips or advice?

The Mrs has just called quits on our relationship and I fancy getting away this year, just me, my car, bike and camera.

Thank you for the advice.
Sorry I should have said I would be going early September and mountain biking as opposed to road.

A friend did Selle Ronda in the Dolomites last summer, looked stunning. I can ask him for more info if you like? He did huge amounts of climbing, but some of that was in cable cars which seems wrong to me!
Just bear in mind, solo in the Alps can be quite daunting. If you have a problem with the bike can you fix it, and if not, can you get back to civilisation? And if you crash badly, who will know and help? My mate said there were sections of trail he was too scared to ride, and were bloody hard to walk when pushing a bike

To be honest that's part of the appeal; to be solely reliant on myself. I will have to reel in my desire to be a little reckless! Hadn't thought of the Dolomites, was mainly focusing and the French and swiss alps. Will look it up.

Thanks

Thank you all for the advice. Much appreciated.

My worry is my 2012 Giant Yukon that only cost £400 might not be up to a week or so of rough treatment. I wouldn't go beyond anything intermediate but I don't know if it's worth upgrading? Budget would only be 500ish though
