Col du Galibier and Col de la Croix de Fer already open in 2004

The Grenoble Cycling Pages have been updated with new photos from the Col de
la Croix de Fer and Col du Galiber. The high Alpine passes have just been
opened, making some spectacular cycling after the snow ploughs have cut
through deep snow. Also included are photos from the Col du Glandon and Col
de la Madeleine, both still closed.
