Thanks for the info guys. I'm trying to decide a route at the mo. Thinking of going north at Susa into Parc National de la Vanoise and then into Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso. But also got my heart set on Bormio - Stelvio, Gavia, Mortirolo and co which I could connect via train. Been doing some research on cycling-challenge.com and the routes look incredible, but trying to put them together to create a route is a challenge!

Good call!
I'd personally go through Switzerland at that point and tackle passes like the St. Gotthard, Furka, Nufenen, onto Albula, Fluela and then eventually Umbrail, Stelvio.. Ask @skinny how to combine them best, he's a resident there!
You'll end up with legs of steel!

Yeah, just felt pretty steep for a while when descending. And it's a long one too. But we're risking spoiling inkleined's fun here!
The other one I had the fear of was the N side of the Glandon and damn, last summer I found out I was right.
