Location, time, date. What else needs putting together? (This is sounding like another Treffen to me )

We know the date. We can guess the time. We need the location. My car is ready to go right now. I have an open booking on SpeedFerries that just needs changing to departure date. See you there.

Looks a nice hotel Neil but at the moment the only thing definite is that it is AN hotel in Turin.

Any of the hotels on the Stelvio Pass would be my choice, much preferable to a city centre location, just imagine the experience of waking up to the views.

If the Stelvio isn't an option as the RV, I may well take it in on the way out, maybe stopping there over the Friday night. Interested Art?

Stelvio would be fine with us as it is only 60 miles from St Moritz. I certainly cannot justify a further 428 miles to Turin and back. The Schilthorn may be on our itinerary for Wednesday/Thursday 19th/20th enroute from Gstaad to St Moritz. www.silberhorn.com This Hotel is at Lauterbrunnen in the valley below Murren and the Schilthorn and is our regular for both skiing and walking holidays.

Geoff, I'll keep you posted on our intended route. If the NtM does end up in Turin, we'll make a point of going outbound via Stelvio and meeting you there for a beer on the Friday night? Deal?

Bob, That sounds a good idea, I am hoping to have a few days in Switzerland prior to the weekend so a hotel stop at the pass on Friday night and a mini ! convoy run to the meet on the Saturday would be perfect. I just have to aquire a car but please let me know if you are planning on making a booking. Art

Great idea. Carol & I would be up for that, even though I had 24 hours of altitude sickness after our last visit!

Geoff, Friday night would be a definite booking, do we know where the Natter is taking place ? i.e is it within driving distance following the Natter ? Art

Bob & Art. Should we ask for a Group Discount Booking at Stelvio ?? Geoff F. Not sure really. I think we may inevitably end up in a hotel in Turin for the Saturday. But Friday night...great. A pre-Natter. The natter that doesn't matter! Stelvio to Turin "area" is around 200 miles so achievable in a day ready for the Saturday night I should think. Not sure about driving back there afterwards though. a) It's a long-ish way and b) I like beer. ;D
