We dealt with Stefan Knopf in Heidelberg, he cleared the bike for us in Frankfurt, and shipped it out for us, great guy. Check out Knopftours, he also runs a really neat B&B, bike storage and tours business. He has a big range of beemers for rent, loads of Euro touring experience, and is situated a couple of hour's riding from all the juicy Alpine action.
Altho the Alps are fantastic, my advice would be to include the Pyrenees in your plans, utterly beautiful, fantastic roads, and way less traffic, and if you can, go thru thru the Gorge de Verdon in S.E. France.
