Hi,

Has anyone tried the route from Tour de France 15th Etape this year? I'd like to copy the route from Gap to L'Alpe.

I need to know whether there are special difficulties to take care of, if the passes close for the winter and how to get back. What train stations would be best for the return?

Many thanks


Richard
