hi off on first trip to alps early july , anybody got any suggestions on route and accommadation , leaving north wales friday afternoon and want to be back following saturday evening
Landeck is a good base as it is close to the point where Austria meets Switzerland and Italy. Many good passes in the area and easy to join up several to make a circuit for a day trip.

You will get more help if you provide more info.
What type of route do you like, motorway or backroads?
What type of accomodation do you like, 5 star hotels or campsites?
Where is your start point, Calais?

We had a large group of 16 and it only cost us £20 per head for a week, amazing games room. Loads of winding roads in the beautiful area of Lofer (Austria).

Make sure you get to andermatt for a couple of nights to take in the Furka, Grimsel, Susten, St Gothard and Nufenen Passes.
I also stayed in livigno, cheap fuel, plenty of places to eat etc. only downside is getting in / out of Valley, but overall well located for many asses (Stelvio, Gavia, Bernina, Fluella, Majola, Albula, Umbrail, Julier, Ofen, Splugen etc.)
Andermatt to livigno is an easy run with a choice of passes enroute, from livigno you can get out and over the Timmelsjoch and into Austria.
I stayed in Andermatt and Livigno this year, more info here.

Your spelling's about as good as your humour
Oh and another thumbs up for Haus Elisabeth Schwarz in Stanzach. I've been there several times and it's always superb

I always recommend http://www.valleyhostel.ch which is in the amazing Lauterbrunnen Valley. Ideal stopover before you hit the Alpine passes....

Twas a bloody good trip and shown most of the routes as google maps....

If your leaving Friday afternoon, you may be able to get here for Saturday evening, if not maybe stop a bit further North and then try to get to Andermatt the following day.
As you only have 9 days including your Friday afternoon, you are gonna lose two each way getting to and From the Alps leaving just five full days.
I would suggest having just a couple of places in the Alps, the Luaterbrunnen Valley and Andermatt are great and not too far out, Italy and Austria are further.
Perhaps pick two places with a great selection of routes you fancy, as stated I can recommend Andermatt, also the Mont Blanc region was good for us and within a two day trip of the UK, as to are other French Alps locations, you could take in La Bonnette and a few of the other highest roads in the Alps around the Grenoble area.
What I did discover is it is hard to find anywhere that is not Amazing once in the Alpine region
