Best to stay clear of the big mountains - anywhere that has a skiing area for instance - even at that time of year.
Basically, the mountains will always slow you down, even without the weather as a factor, and you just don't seem to have time on your side; that points towards the use of motorways all the way out, and back.
In my riding of the Alps, for instance, I have managed about 250 miles after a long day in the saddle. OK, there was a certain amount of sight-seeing and general gawping and taking of photos, but not all that much.
