Why it is a next step

Two moderate passes: the Forclaz (max 8%, but a sustained 7.9% over 13 km from Martigny) and the Swiss side of the Great St Bernard (max 11%, only 7 km from Bourg-St-Pierre). Turn round at the hospice, or carry ID and continue into Italy. The Great St Bernard pass road closes earliest of all, in mid October.
