GPS tracks Alps - Off Road

Hi Everyone

I wanted to do a weekend of Alps this weekend and wonder if anyone has any offroad routes for Garmin they would not mind sharing?

Would really appreciate a few tips

Try these 4 sites. Not necessarily in English, but if you're in Lux, maybe you can do the lingo or use translation programs.

The German stuff has a fair bit of off pavement content.

please send me an email, I'll then reply with a whole bunch of GPS tracks for the LGKS (Ligurische Grenzkammstrasse) through the alps. Really beautiful. On my website, you might be able to find some pictures of it (under holidays, not the RTW trip)

so interesting

Wow, another person doing what I've tried to accomplish. No joke, it really is difficult to find good unpaved paths in the Alps. I wished I knew a few places. Ended up riding 1900 km and 10 passes last week on asphalt, a real treat but hey, I'd like to find out more about it! I assume it might be easier in non-Swiss Alps. These guys don't fool around with restrictions.
