Passes and Summits in the Alps

The European alps have the largest number and densest concentration of named passes and summits that can be crossed with a bicycle. But why stop there ? The alps have the most extensive civil engineering projects to cross these mountains, ie tunnels and bridges, as well as the most famous cycling races across these summits. It is no surprise then that traffic can be intimidating on some routes during peak season. The two tables below contain 39 passes, sofar mostly in the eastern alps, ordered in different ways.

The google map works best in the google-chrome browser. Individual pass/summit pages open in a separate window or tab.

Some of the passes, listed in the tables, also contain route descriptions. They are listed again separately in: Cycling Passes in Europe - in detail
