For a few years now we have travelled to Moniga on Lake Garda for 3 weeks each year stopping at the excellent Piantelle. Until recently we had a motorhome and would pretty much stop where we felt tired at a motorway aire or use a dedicated off autoroute one. We've always gone via Chamonix in the past, although it is probably not the cheapest route to follow.
With our newest daughter came the need for more space so we have changed to a caravan and are trying to work out the best route with two stopovers on the way there and one on the return journey. Ideally we will want to just pull up early evening, plug in and leave again by 10 the next day. I'd rather not stop at a motorway services as irrespective of the risk we never feel fully rested due to the noise.
Our curent plan (version 99!) is to go via the Brenner Pass so will be looking in the Strasbourg area for the fist night and close to the pass for the second. On the way home I would probably do a long day first and get to Stasbourg again. We leave the UK on the first train on 19th July and return on the 13th August.
Any help or advice on either the route or the stopovers would be most appreciated, I'm anticipating a slower trip as it appears that the 100kph I cruised at in the motorhome needs to be dropped to 90 / 80 for the caravan...
Huge thanks in advance
