Adventure Bike Rider Forum

Planning on doing Switzerland in September, would i need to book hotels in advance or just do them from day to day? which i would prefer as this would give us more flexibility.

Depends where but don't discount AirBnB!! I've used it when fed up with camping and always worked.

You really don't need to actually stay in Switzerland to 'do Switzerland', it's a pretty small country. Depending on the exchange rate, Switzerland can be quite expensive, and if the euro starts to fall it might be worth staying in one of the euro countries that surround it and keep criss crossing the place. Could work out a lot cheaper and just as much fun.

probably a bit far out for Switzerland but excellent for Austria (thumbs)

when we stayed in Switzerland we we stayed on the outskirts of Interlaken (thumbs)
stayed at manor farm using canvas holidays in one of their mobile homes
excellent value and sleep 4-6 £350.00 for a week in june
admittedly we paid the dreaded vignette as well
excellent place to use as a base as you are within easy reach of to name a few passes

furka,
oberalp,
grimsel,
nufenen,
brunig,
susten,
gothard,
and other twisties for the brave

oh spud do you realise you've probably woken ali up and he'll be along shortly to put the world to rights
that is if he's not out on his ski bike (thumbs)

Thanks People been looking at Airbnb option looks good want to move from place to place.

We will be going end of September Bikeshuttle To Geneva( which the wife won at last years overland event) then we have 10 days to ride back to England probably spend a lot time in Switzerland Austria before heading back through Germany

in that case if you can get to and stay a couple of nights at ali's (thumbs)
