Default Alps road atlas

My old road atlas covering the Alps has gone missing, so I'm looking
for a good replacement. Ideally it would be 1:200.000, but I can live
with 1:400.000.

Indications of scenic roads a plus.

Personally, I like the at least 1:150000 maps that show hundreds or
thousands of places of interest to a tourist on them both man-made and
natural, scenic drives, ALL rural roads, and accurately rates the
attractions. I imagine a good bookstore would be a good place to get
a replacement, and I would look at all of the possibilities as some
maps contain a lot more useful information than others that are highly
deficient. I know for Germany, the 1:150000 Shell Regional Map series
was by far the best with 18 maps covering the whole country, but
unfortunately they quit publishing them a few years ago.

I use the Michelin Atlas for Germany, Benelux, Austria, Switzerland.

This covers the Swiss/Austrian Alps up to the French border at 1:400,000. It
also indicates scenic routes
