Swiss Alps info
We did our first Euro trip in July last year, we stayed in Merringen for a couple of days and did the loop of the Susten, Grimsel, and Furka passes as one of our day trips. We had the best of weather and the roads are stunning, see the link below for some pics.

Buy the book Motorcycle Journeys Through The Alps And Corsica by John Hermann ISBN 1-884313-32-9. You can get it on Amazon.
It details 71 different rides through the alps and includes simple route maps, ride reports, places of interest etc.
Very easy to understand and written by a biker for bikers.
