Hi we are planning a tour of Alps, covering Germany, Switzerland, Austria and France (we may nip across into Italy too), which is good, but what is not so good is we have to go during summer school holidays, i.e. Late July early August.
Our concerns are how much of a potential problem finding good accomodation maybe...past trips have not been an issue in "term time", has anyone experience of touring jul/august and did hotels B&Bs have to be booked in advance or can we just wing as before???
Also how much busier are we likely to find the roads....we aim to use motorways to get to the good bits, then stick to seeing how many cols/passes we can collect..we guess that it will be a bit hotter than past trips!

As an example on the Col de la Bonette 3 years ago it was down to 3 degrees C in rain near the top, back in the valley 25 degrees C
