Overview
NEW Route in 2024!
Made famous by the Giro d’Italia, the Stelvio and the Mortirolo are just a few of the legendary climbs you’ll conquer on this ambitious and stunning route across the Italian Alps and Dolomites. You’ll ride the Sella Ronda, one of the most famous and impressive bike rides in Europe, and bag a number of other Giro legends including the Passo Giau and Passo Campolongo.
Our newly designed route concludes with the infamous Monte Zoncolan. Starting under a banner that reads “Welcome to the Gates of Hell”, the Zoncolan, along with the Angliru in Spain, is widely considered the most difficult climb of the Grand Tours.
We’ve designed a magnificent ride across the Italian Alps and Dolomites, and you’ll thank us for it.

Giro d'Italia legend: the Passo Mortirolo
Today’s ride features the Passo Mortirolo, one of the most iconic Italian climbs.
The Mortirolo is considered the “Alpe d’Huez” of the Giro d’Italia – except it’s significantly more challenging than it’s French counterpart! With an average of 10.5% over 11km (7 miles), this is one of the toughest climbs in Europe.
Tip: don’t miss the statue and tribute to Italian cycling legend, Marco Pantani, 8km from the start of the climb.
Day 3

The Passo Stelvio
Another classic Italian ride today over the legendary Passo Stelvio. From Bormio you’ll have a short transfer to start the ride just before the Passo Umbrail on the border with Switzerland. From the Passo Umbrail, the descent takes you through the beautiful Val Mustair before leading back into Italy and Prato allo Stelvio, where the northern approach to the Passo Stelvio begins.
Tip: with an average grade of almost 7.5% over 24 km (15 miles), the ascent of the Stelvio is a major challenge. Pace yourself on this epic climb!
