I'm looking for a base town/village in the Alps (alternatively two close-by towns) for road cycling. Dolomites with villages like Selva di Gardena, Corvara in Badia and Canazei seems like a very obvious option, but are there any other possibilities, for example in the French Alps?
It's preferable to avoid the too many roads with heavy traffic. There isn't at must to ride the highest climbs/passes. Don't need to pass 2000m on most climbs to be satisfied. I was looking at La Clusaz as an option, but many of the roads in the area seems to be main roads? Vercors actually looks interesting. More options on lesser trafficated roads perhaps. Any other ideas?
