The Routes des grandes alpes should be done over 2 days in order to enjoy it fully.

I think we made the right choice in doing it in September, the weather was perfect most days, from reports it looks like there is still quite a bit of snow about in June and July.
I'm thinking i'll be stopping for photos every 5 minutes the grandes alpes site says its 400 miles, which is why I was aiming for 200 mile a day. How much of it did you do in how long a time? Yeah Col de l'iseran sounds like the last of the snow is removed in early July so was planning on late(ish) July or early September (prefer July cause I dont wanna wait that long!)
