    Same here, really wetting the appetite for next year. We always avoided going to the lakes when we lived in Germany as we could only go during August due to school holidays. OH gets really bad mosquito bites so good to hear from Roy that in May&June it wasn't bad. 

    This year we loved lake Annecy and lake  Geneve  the photos that Metheven posted reminded us of how stunning they were. 

    ET I  remember one year going home to Germany via the St Bernard Pass, pretty good views, I'm sure I still have some photos somewhere.

    BB, like you we really must try harder to get to Italy, need someone to make more weeks in the year laughing

    Try Seiser Alm in Sud Tyrol, we took a 7.5m Caravan there without any problems. Stunning views of the mountains and away from the over busy and over rated Lake Garda.

    If you're coming down via the Brenner Pass, Levico Terme is a delightful spa town on the southern edge of the Dolomites. It sits above the Lago di Levico which boasts the only Blue Flag rating of any of the Italian lakes. In the town there is a pedestrian precinct with cafes, restaurants and shops. The church and its separate bell-tower mark the centre of the town. At one end of the town there is a modern ‘spa’, while at the other is the more traditional Grand Hotel and with its own spa facilities.

    Camping Lago di Levico, is a largish site with its own access to the lake.

    The route through Dobbiaco (Toblac) towards Trieste is our preferred route most years. Its a good road for towing through Cortina then Belluno, Longarone and Conegliano where you can pick-up the motorway, joining the A4 (Venice - Trieste motorway) at Porto Gruaro.

    We too have stayed at the campsite on the side of Lake Toblacasee. The restaurant is good and the facilities very grand. However, the ECU is metered and can prove to be expensive if its cold and you use your electric heating. Its a very pleasant walk into the town.Camping Olympia in Dobbiaco comes highly recommended too.

    We've used this route for many years and its quiet and picturesque  compared with the motorway past Garda and Verona.

    Thanks Dave. That was the route I had originally planned but did fancy going the alternative way via Udine but I think the first section from Cortina going East via Forni di Sotto may be a bit windy and narrow on the descents. I was hoping to get a reply from some who may have gone that way themselves. Regards Roy

     Hi Roy

    The SS52 through Forni di Sotto  to Tolmezzo is a regular route for the Giro di Italia cycle race and can be challenging, although I'm sure you'd manage it in a motorhome. We find the route through Longarone and Conegliano  ideal for us because we leave the A27 (a relatively new section of motorway) at Porto Gruaro and take the SS14 to where our caravan is sited. Whichever route you take through the area around Cortina is spectacular. Hope you enjoy it.
