I'm also hoping to hit up some alps (Swiss and French) in July...

may have to sell an organ or 2 to get there... but from what Omega Man says... it's worth it!

Also... watch the MTB film Vast, some awesome swiss riding in there

Totally affordable. My 2 week trip is 17k all in. Including flights, visa, airport shuttles, lift passes, accommodation and spending money.

There's 7 in our group confirmed with a few others umming and ahhing.

Be warned tho. If you go it will become an all consuming addiction. So much so that you will start planning your next trip the day you arrive back home.
