…please.
I’ve made a list of cols in Italy/France/Austria/Switzerland and my plan is to load up the car with camping/cycling/mountaineering kit and drive south through the night to Dover for a cheap ferry to France or Belgium (probably the latter since it’ll be quicker to get to the Sud Tirol).
Any suggestions for routes and valley bases to link up any of the following cols. Ideally circular routes, but out-and-back will be fine too.
France:
Col du Galibier
Col du Glandon/Croix de Fer
Col de la Madelaine
Alpe d’ Huez
Italy:
Passo dello Stelvio
Passo de Gavia
Colle dell’Agnelo
Tre Cime de Lavaredo
Passo Pordoi
Passo Guia
Gran Sasso d’Italia
Passo Fedia
Passo del Mortirola
Monte Grappa
Monte Zoncolan (!)
Col du Grand St Bernard
Austria:
Grossglockner
Kitzbuheler Horn
I know it’s an arbitrary selection (from a coffee-table tome) and any suggestions to expand it are most welcome too.
Thank you,
SC
