[MrShabba]

Hi guys,

First post so be kind!

Me and a couple of friends are going on a European road trip in just over a month's time and I just looking for any advice or first hand experience people have of roads / places to stay / places to go.

I've only used Google to plan rough routes, we will wont be following that completely. One question I do have is has anyone ever stayed in Stevlio itself? Is there much there??

Can't wait to go on the trip been wanting to do it for years, finally got the car I wanted so it's going to happen this year.

Any thoughts, suggestions etc appreciated!

Fantastic loop!

My only suggestion would be to do some longer days at the start and finish of the trip so that you can spend more time in the Alps

If you get to the 'ring on day 1, you can spend an extra night around Davos and do the Andermatt loop for example..

None of your links work for me, it says page not found

You've not left enough time for day 8.

How do you mean, is that too far in one day you reckon?
