oof ok, might have to give that a skip then .. the rest seem ride-able .. alpe d'huez is a bit further.

The trouble with Alpe d'Huez from Briancon is having to go over the Lauteret to get there and back. It's a wide, busy road with some pretty hair raising tunnels to go through as you get down towards Bourg d'Oisans. If you've got a car it might be worth driving some/all of the way.
To be honest, there's some great roads around Briancon, what with the Izoard, the Montgenevre, even cols like the Vars, Risoul and the Agnello to the south.

Nice. Some great roads in that area, but the valleys can be busy as the road from Grenoble to Turin is a major trunk route through the Alps.
Er, what? That's a long way, like a 12 hour round trip long way.
