Where each ride starts
Stelvio and Gavia head out from Bormio in different directions. Torri di Fraele starts at Turripiano, so include the connection from town. Bormio 2000 provides another local ascent. The table measures each selected climb; it excludes the return and any roads between your accommodation and the recorded start.
Four climbs over a week
One possible order is arrival, Torri di Fraele, Stelvio, a free day, Gavia, Bormio 2000, then departure. Keep the high-pass days flexible and consult local opening information. Torri di Fraele’s profile ends at the towers: it does not include a circuit of the Cancano lakes.
Keep the Bormio approaches together
The famous Stelvio photograph from Prato allo Stelvio shows the other side of the pass. The Giro collection also lists Gavia from Ponte di Legno. Use the routes on this page for a Bormio stay; crossing a pass and returning over it adds a very different day to the ascent shown here.
Average gradient describes the recorded route as a whole. Open a climb to see its elevation profile and how the gradient changes along the road.
