Planning on going to Italy on the bike in mid-May. Has anybody ridden the Dolomites in May? Are the high passes open??
I went onto the alipineroads website which seemed to imply that they were open all year i.e. it had no info in the road closure column. I'm assuming the Dolomites are a tad warmer than the Swiss passes so its reasonable that they are open earlier???
Depending which way you are coming in to Italy
1. Timmelsjoch
2. Jaufen
3. Stiffelsjoch(Stelvio)
4. Any route across towards Cortina
5. Any route from Bolzano area uptowards Jaufen Pass
6. Pick a road and explore it
Have got our routes from 2007 in from Switzerland in and out over Timmelsjoch on Garmin V8 if you have E-Mail will send as an attachment.
