2008 Big Climbs Map

Big Climbs in 2008 (excludes repeats). Click Ride Icons for link to details. I have split climbs into a few geographic categories:

France:

Blue = French Alps ; Green = French Jura Mountains

Switzerland:

Red = Swiss Alps ; Pale Blue = Swiss Jura Mountains

Small Red flag = small cols (passes) that I have climbed or perhaps passed from an easier direction.

It may be necessary to use the “view larger map” option at bottom or to scroll right or down – to see all climbs.

For a map of all climbs over all years – see here.
