In 14 days we wanted to circumnavigate the high Alpine peaks of France, Switzerland, and Italy, starting from Lake Constance. Following the Rhine, falling with it at Schaffhausen, we said goodbye to the river of the Germans in Basel. Through the Jura to Lake Neuchâtel and on to Lausanne at Lake Geneva. After circling it, to Geneva, then following in the footsteps of the Tour de France into the Savoie Alps. Skirting Mont Blanc via the Petit Saint Bernard into Italy and through the Aosta Valley towards the southeast. On the southern flank of the Alpine foothills back northeast to Lake Maggiore. North again to Switzerland and over the Lukmanier Pass to the Vorderrhein. It then brought us through Liechtenstein and Austria back to the starting point of our loop, at Lake Constance.
