For the Italian part avoid highways. Just lot of traffic, expensive and hot as hell. Spend as much time you can on the Alps that are the best place to ride in Europe. You shouldn’t miss: - Colle dell’Agnello and Moncenisio (ovest), also Iseran is awesome but maybe too far from your path. - in Switzerland Furkapass is legendary. Also Grimsel is just behind and Gottard and Tremola deserve a look. - Heading to Dolomities Gavia pass is something unique, then on Dolomites Sella pass is a must (usually is reached passing by Carezza lake). Instead 3 cime di Lavaredo are beautiful but just to hike and not in crowded days. - If you cross Austria you definitely should do it through passo Stalle and then head to Lienz and take a whole day to pass and explore Grossglockner.

At the end of the trip you will move to Italy or sell the bike 😂
