Hi

We are taking our TVR to the Alps for a 2 week trip from this Saturday. If any other TVRs are out there around the same time give us a shout. I have been wanting to take my Tuscan to the Alps for over 3 years now. Can't wait.

Here is my route so far: http://tinyurl.com/8xkppfy

Any hotel recommendations along the route or any other tips welcome.

I think that link is broken...doesn't seem to go anywhere.

I will be keeping an eye on this thread - I also want to plan an Alps trip but mine will most likely be 2014 (but 2013 if I have anything to do with it).

Good to see you don´t miss the Grossglockner in Austria.
It is a must!

Hotel Viktoria is close to the bottom of the Grossglockner.

You will enjoy wonderful Austrian food there and they are already
TVR approved biglaugh

There are no TVRs around, but as they are car nuts themself they would know somebody for sure around to help you further.
In the unlikely case there should be a problem with the Tiv.

You will enjoy the passes with the TVR.

But you should avoid the famous passes at weekends.
Always better weekday mornings.

Good fun!!

i was thinking of going to vezasca dam to do the bungee jump, would that be on your radar?
how are you keeping the decibels down going through Switzerland? they will not like the noise:-)
Lake Annecy and La clusaz are very nice places to go in the Summer.

i would be interested in part of the trip maybe

What is going to be your route? Looks like we may cross paths.
