Stelvio Pass

Itinerary: Bormio - 1st "Cantoniera" - 2nd "Cantoniera" - 3rd "Cantoniera" - Malga di Bormio - Laghetto Alto - Stelvio Pass

Duration: 4 hours

Difficulty: medium/difficult

Description of the route: Starting in Bormio, you follow the SS (state road) 38 "dello Stelvio", which leads directly up to the peak of the Stelvio Pass. You will pass by the 1st, 2nd and 3rd "Cantoniere", before you reach the little church of S. Ranieri. Then follow instead of the asphalted state road, a path, which has already been used during the First World War, and reach the "Malga di Bormio". Still biking on the military road, you arrive after a long uphill stretch, near the "Laghetto Alto" (Alpine lake). At this point you will enjoy a great panoramic view of the peaks of the Ortler Mountain range. Cross the little river "Braulio" and you will find yourself back on the SS 38, reaching the peak of the Stelvio Pass after some more switchbacks.
