Any must see roads that we should include?

Try to include as many roads as possible

Great Scenery and "interesting" road design on the "Kaiserjägerstraße", from Caldonazzo to Monte Rovere
(see for a map here: http://www.gs-enduro.de/html/paesse/trentino/kaiserjaegerstrasse.htm )

You see parts from that road from 2:11 to 3:07

I've made a note of that one.

You must have a copy of John Hermanns book "The Alps and Corsica" right?
If not get one ordered sharpish and take it with you

Correct me if I'm wrong but the lake at the end of the video looks very much like lake idro in italy? If so the pass from there across to lake garda is fantastic!

Don't think so Phil, I'm pretty sure thats Riva on Garda and the climb up towards Rovereto. Be interesting to get confirmation

Ah, you could well be right, the bike parking part.

Yes, Phil was right: It's Lago d'Idro at the last scene of the video; Lago di Gardand and the road up to Rovereto is a little earlier (but Torbole, not Riva)

Thought so I stopped in the very same spot last September when I was riding solo, there are some good bbqs at the lake side too.

Glad to know the Alps are in OK condition setting off again of the 23rd of may.
