Planning a trip to the Alps 21st September to 6th October with my partner, she's not a cyclist so will have to intersperse rides with hikes that we can do together. We'll be driving and tentatively I have 6 nights in Briançon, 6 nights somewhere else (indifferent on order of these), and final 3 nights in Annecy because it looks really pretty. Bonus if I could ride between locations as may be able to convince my partner to drive with our stuff and chill whilst I gurn my way over.
I've never been to that side of France so really have no idea and open to suggestions/advice. In terms of riding I'd like to take in some of the big name climbs but also happy to favour less celebrated climbs if the consensus is that they're nicer and have less traffic; I seem to recall someone saying that Alp D'Huez is basically the A21 with hairpins...
Any insight/advice much appreciated :)
