Touring some Alps

Finally finished a rudimentary translation of my bike trip to the Alps.
Sorry for all you linquistically challenged, all the notes of the
pictures are in Finnish.

I haven't translated the "getting there" page.

Very, very slick job although a little confusing to navigate at times.
Hopefully you'll translate the photo descriptions as well. I know it
takes a lot of time to put to the whole package as you've done.

thanks for sharing,

Du har rätt, men jag måste jobba också. Jag kunde likväl ha skrivit det
på svenska, men då skulle bara 5% av oss Finländare ha velat läsa den.

Nice pic's Jan!

But, shouldn't "Thun" read "Spiez" (along the Thunersee)?

Nice report for a great (Jobst inspired?) trip.
Out of curiosity. Can you, or anyone for that matter, tell me how to
avoid that stretch of highway, forbidden to cyclists , between Saint
Gervais and Chamonix?

There is a parallel road D213 which runs through Vaudagne, Les Houches
and Les Bossons; check this at www.viamichelin.com or, if this fits:

It's worse than that. The D213 only gets you from the middle of the
stretch of highway to Les Houches, whereas the viaduct starts at the
spot marked with "1" on the michelin map you linked to. To completely
avoid the highway you have to follow D43 from Le Fayet along the
railroad and then D43 through Joux and Servoz. Take the train. I think
this map shows the whole route:

Thanks for the correction, it should indeed read Spiez. Speaking of
nice pictures, these were taken in Northern Sweden's wilderness during
last week in August:
