BOOK / ENQUIRE

At the foot of the EPIC Stelvio & Gavia, In the heart of the Italian Alps.

Based in Bormio, training camp of many professional cyclists, live the legend of the Giro!

Day 1 : Welcome to Italy

We will meet you at the Milan airport at a predetermined time before transferring you to your hotel in Bormio. In the afternoon we will take the opportunity to introduce you to the program and adjust your bike.

Meals: Dinner

Accomodation: Hotel La Genzianella 3* – Bormio

For this first stage we leave Bormio and head for the Umbrail Pass (2503m) which marks the border between Italy and Switzerland. It is located 3 kms from the summit of the Stelvio on the Lombard side. After about 15 km in Swiss territory we cross the border with Italy again and head towards the Passo dello Stelvio (2758m) this time on the Tyrolean side. This road is one of the most famous and mythical in the world of cycling: 24 kms of difference in altitude, 14% of maximum slope and 48 bends!

Route: Option 1 : 50 km / 1900 m Elevation Gain – Option 2 : 105 km / 3500 m Elevation Gain

Accomodation: Hotel La Genzianella 3* – Bormio

Today we have an easier stage to Cancano lake. From our hotel we have a few kilometers to warm up before starting the climb. In the 18th stage of the Giro 2020 it was Jai Hindley who won at the top. The view on the laces from Torre di Fraele is spectacular! After reaching the lake, we descend to Bormio. Upon our return to the hotel enjoy a well-deserved spa and recover for the next stage!

Route: 40 km / 1300 m Elevation Gain

Accomodation: Hotel La Genzianella 3* – Bormio

For this last day in the heart of the Italian Alps, two names well known to purists: the Mortirolo (1855m) and the Gavia (2618m).
As a warm up we follow the Adda river and then turn left to reach the first ramps of the Passo Mortirolo. There are several possibilities to reach the summit. Mostly in the forest, only the last part allows us to glimpse the surrounding landscape. The Gavia, which is approached from the southern side, is more open. The descent to Bormio offers a view on the glaciers.
