That looks like a great trip!

Did you camp or hotel?

I'm often intrigued if it is best to "tour" the alps or stay at a central location and use it as a base for day trips to the various passes.

Yes, nice trip.

I prefer using a hotel as a base for 3 nights or so. Choose carefully and you can ride a different loop each day. Ideal places would be Grenoble (if you include the Vercors with the Alps), Meiringen in Switzerland, Landeck on Austrian border near Switzerland and Italy or Kranskja Gora in Slovenia near the border with Austria & Italy.

We used local hotels or "pensions". Never booked upfront, one room for 2 is easy to find everywhere and we are free with destination for the day.

I used MapSource, but you can get the similar one from BaseCamp, I think.

Wonderful pictures. The alps are my idea of paradise. Mountains, waterfalls, trees, and lakes. Want to get back there some day.

Click the letter "i" in a circle at the top right of each photo when viewing them individually.

They were taken with an iPhone 6.

Booking.com does wonders, even in the holiday season. The approach of never booking too long in advance is the best. It allows you to adapt your trip to the changing weather conditions.
