Stelvio and Gavia: choose your approach
Here, Stelvio is the climb from Prato allo Stelvio and Gavia is the approach from Ponte di Legno. If you stay in Bormio, the Bormio collection links to the other side of each pass. Those profiles have different starts and measurements; reaching the same summit does not make them interchangeable.
Pordoi and Fedaia in the Dolomites
The Pordoi selection starts in Arabba. Fedaia’s saved profile includes the approach through Malga Ciapela. The Giro’s own Fedaia history describes its first appearance in 1970; the climb and Pordoi have since appeared together in mountain stages. The broader Dolomites collection has more passes and alternative approaches.
Turn the list into a holiday
Choose Bormio, a Dolomites destination or Valsesia for Alpe di Mera. These are separate areas, so visiting them together calls for transfers. Check local road openings before fixing travel dates and include the journey from your accommodation and the return from each summit.
Mortirolo, Zoncolan and Tre Cime
Mortirolo is the steep ascent from Mazzo di Valtellina; the Monno approach is a different profile. Zoncolan starts in Ovaro, while the Tre Cime route begins at Passo Tre Croci and ends by Rifugio Auronzo. These climbs sit in different areas and need a plan for transfers if you want to ride all three.
Alpe di Mera from Scopello
The Giro finished at Alpe di Mera in 2021, climbing from Scopello in Valsesia, Piedmont. This sustained steep ascent offers a different destination from the eastern Alpine passes. Use its full gradient profile when comparing it with Mortirolo or Zoncolan.
Choose the destination after the climb
For Stelvio and Gavia from a Bormio stay, use the Bormio-side profiles linked in that collection. For Pordoi, Fedaia and Tre Cime, begin with the Dolomites selection. Mortirolo from Mazzo and Zoncolan from Ovaro keep their own starting valleys; the eight climbs here do not form a connected tour.
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.
