My Lady and I (after a bit of deliberation) have decided to tour the Alps this summer.
Now, we're gonna be doing this 2 up, and we're gonna be on a scooter.
I've been hearing horror stories about how expensive a place it is to visit, stories of £20 pizzas, £12 s and £100 a night digs for nowt more than a single bed.
I've been before a couple of times but the last was about 8yrs ago and the world's a different place now.

Is it this bad or is this prices they charge skiers in the middle of skier season?
Will we be able to get a bed for the night without getting financially humped?
Should we keep away from resort type places even though it's off season?
Should we take a stove & pot and eat noodles for a fortnight?
Will we be able to find nice little reasonably priced villages?
etcetera etcetera

Mind we're going on a factory hooter so need to travel light, the last thing I want is to humph a big bag of cooking facilities and grub to then find out we can eat like kings for peasant money.
Or on the flipside to not take camping gear and then discover a bed for the night is gonna cost the equivalent of 4 numbers on the lotto. My gf is a hardy kinda girl but sleeping under lorries and in bus shelters isn't what she's looking for from a trip.

Thanks in advance, and happy mothers day........... Paul x
