Here's the latest opening dates of the major passes along the Routes des Grandes Alpes, according to their official site.....it roughly translates to the following:
Continuous snow late in the season on the alpine cols means they will open later this year.
"Le col de la Colombière: pour raison de travaux de déblaiement, l'ouverture se fera début juin." - because of clearing work, it will be open at the beginning of June
"Le Cormet de Roseland: entre fin mai et début juin." - Between the end of May and the beginning of June
Le Col de l'Iseran: pas avant le 10 juin - Not before the 10 June
Le col du Galibier: avant la Pentecôte. Before the Pentecost - whenever that is...
Le Col de la Croix de Fer: ouverture prévue entre le 21 et 28 mai. - Opening envisaged between 21 and 28 May
Le Col de l'Izoard: ouverture définitive le 19 juin. - Opening 19 June
Le Col de la Bonette: début juin - Beginning of June
...Which kinda messes my plan to ride the RGA next week though I guess I can do some of it though except for the real high stuff. Anyway, hope you find it useful.
