Hi All
Im Andy the secretary, here is some more info, on the 1st day we intend to ride from Geniva to Livigno (Italian Alps) and stay there as our base for 5nights, and do runs each day of about 250mile. Dave and Myself have stayed at the hotel before and it is giving us a very good rate for B+B and a packed lunch to take with us each day (to keep the costs down) see the link below for the hotel. Livigno attracted us for a number of reasons, it is TAX FREE so fuel is a fraction of the cost here in the UK and the location to alot of good Alpine passes.
E,mail me at the address above and i will forward you a presentation with all the info you need including a breakdown of costs.

Sounds Great.

Make sure you take in the Splugen pass :thumb2

We stayed in Livigno last year and covered a lot of ground in 2 days riding out from there:

I was interested in staying at The Hotel Le Alpi sometime around the 2nd week in june. However after emailing them about availability of accomodation, their reply was:

Hello
At the moment we are not completely sure to be open on that dates.
In any case Livigno and us won’t be full in that period so you can also book just one week before your arrival.
I’m sorry for this but I haven’t finished my plan for the summer.

Have pinged you an email. I won't know till closer to the time whether I will have the time, so I'll keep an eye on this in case there's a spare slot before you go.

Thanks Andy, info tucked away for nearer the time. I have a job interview on Friday which, if I get it, will see me starting around then, so hopefully will know reasonably soon.

I was Mauro who sent the email.
I did get the impression that they didn`t want my booking for only 1-3 days

Mr Magicfingers
Good luck with the interview.

Nora
You could be right, he has done us proud with the deal he has given us.
