Cycling vacation Alps

Prelude

Last year Bram and I (Bart) had finished cycling the 100 cols tour. This year we wanted to cycle in Austria or Switzerland to explore the Alps. Bram apparently talks about cycling a lot at work. Also to Jorien, whose dad used to cycle a lot when he was younger. He had gotten all excited by our stories and offered to plan this year's route. The route was finished only a few weeks before we left. We received a list of villages we needed to pass, including road numbers and the total distance cycled. It would involve a lot of climbing. The total distance, including a reasonable amount of detours, would be around 3300 kilometers. That would be tight in three weeks.
