We'll be driving from Umbria to Switzerland (and back) this August. I'm not sure if we'll be driving to Oberdorf first, or to Lenk, which is 2+ hours further.
Because it'll be August and the days will be long, I'm hoping by making this a 2 day trip we can see something along the way, or just enjoy incredible views. Como looks like a good place to stop for an overnight, both going and coming. It's definitely not halfway, but it's at the Alps which is far more compelling (for us) than the scenery south of Milan where it's flat and boring! We also have the possibility to extend our stay at this stop on our way home - if we don't go to Oberdorf. So, this is where I'm clueless and need help with accommodations.
I'd like somewhere to stay around Como (or chime in if you have another suggestion!) with easy access to the road, not too far out of the way, gorgeous views and well, asking for reasonable prices in Switzerland in August is pretty crazy, so I won't even bother. Where do I begin the search?
Almost forgot! Here's the MAP
