Here, I want to show you the most beautiful climbs that are accessible while the snow still melts in the northern Alps. May is usually the right season to get back to the mountains on a bike; the mountain passes are gradually opening up and there are only a few cars around.
I get a very unique feeling from riding on these quiet roads, with marmots coming out of their burrows. I can only advise you to get on your bike and try these, but please ask the local tourist office ahead of time for more information about the reopening time for roads.
My favorite ride is, obviously, the Galibier.
See you in May :-)
