Re: The alps 2012
Where u can go in the mountains depends on what time of year u go. July August is best, busy but all the famous high passes will be open.
At that time of year the weather still can change very quickly. I have went for a dip in a lake in glorious warm sunshine only for a thunder storm to come over 30mins later.
Accommodation is plentiful. Would not book anywhere. So no daft schedule to keep to and no getting lost. Much more fun.
For a first trip I would recommend French alps. Tons of amazing routes. And if the weather is consistently bad in the alps u can just head south to the beach!
Have a look at the touring bit of ukgser and also check out alpineroads.com.
Viamichelin.com for spotting the "green" tourist/biking heaven routes.
