So I'm going to be doing a trip to Switzerland/Italy/France
My plan is to go down to Geneva and head out from there.
The bikes are going on a trailer down to Geneva and then out and about for a week then back to Geneva and back on the trailer.
I am already looking at https://www.alpineroads.com
But am looking for other peoples personal favorites.
I am keen on sweeping twisties, not too many long straights and not too keen on hairpins when you can't see round them.

You can read my write up of lastyears trip if you want, most of the trip was spent on the Swiss passes around Andermatt and the cols between there and Gap, which would be easy to get to from Geneva. I was impressed with pretty much every road we took to be honest, was just luck. Col de L'Iseran is worth doing as are Furkapass, Grimselpass and Sustenpass, they are all listed on that website you linked after looking.
Geneva is probably going to be my starting point of this years trip, plan is to nail it down to Geneva, stop near there and then hit the mountain roads onwards as that's where it gets good.
