Dolomites Virgin

Dear All,

Long time since my last post. Basically had two kids (great boys- 3 yr & 11 months old). My R100GS/PD is getting a dust off...

Despite being home alone my lovely wife has allowed me to go away for 10 days and am heading to the Dolomites then back via Austria/Switzerland.(First week of June).

Could people let me know a quick guide to the must sees...Additionally would it be better to base ourselves in the same place for a few days before moving on? There seems so much to see in close proximity.

Any suggestions welcome..many thanks.

The book in this thread should give some good ideas for routes

This hotel seems to get good write ups in the Rough Guides / Lonely Planet etc:

Hope this gives some ideas to start with, should be in the same area next June

a truly magic place pass after pass you start on one and halfway up your on another.
you need to write down the pass's you do as there are so many.
marks out of 10 = 20

GS gone now :tears

Is there anywhere in the UK that sells hard copies?

Could spend hours on that site

but searching on ADAC only finds this: http://www.stanfords.co.uk/stock/germany-big-road-atlas-153229/ which isn't much help

We just downloaded and printed off the relevant ones, joined the sheets together and covered them with that clear sticky plastic. Worked perfectly.

Stayed here last year as our base

Swimming pool etc to soak in, great food, geared up for bikes (are'nt they all), if you are coming back into Austria go via Timmelsjoch Pass.

Ash, what sort of camera did you use for those shots? Excellent definition.

Cheers
