| Course information This real-life video consists of two stages These are famous climbs, which are often ridden during the Round of Italy They were filmed in the spring under perfect weather conditions: plenty of sun, clear blue skies, with snow along the sides of the road - nature at its breathtakingly best! Stage 1 Passo del Gavia* The course starts a few kilometres from the foot of the Passo del Gavia (2,621m) in the village of Ponte di Legno at an elevation of 1,250m After a short descent, you start the 17-km climb up the giant snowy mountain The road is narrow, winding and - at some places - difficult to negotiate because of the cracks and potholes in the road surface and the steep gradients The surroundings are woody The higher you climb the more snow there is along the road At a certain point you will cycle through a dimly lighted tunnel From that point the top is still two kilometres away High walls of snow flank the road At the top, the descent starts to the famous village of Bormio (1,210m) After Bormio, you take the main road south in order to finish * This challenging climb became world famous in 1988 during the Tour of Italy when the American Andy Hampsten was the first to reach the finish in a terrible blizzard The conditions at the time were terrible & many of the favourites either lost time or abandoned the race due to the cold rain & sleet Stage 2 Passo del Vivione - Passo della Presolana The starting point lies in Forno Allione at an elevation of 450m From this village you set out on the long ascent of the Passo Vivione (1,828m) Typically, this climb entails shady, narrow roads The first 13 kilometres are relatively easy cycling; the last 7 km from Baita Capriolo (1,200m) to Passo Vivione (1,828m) are difficult Once at the top, you will cycle through a splendid valley After a tortuous descent you arrive in Schilpario (1,200m) This is followed by two short climbs to a point where you descend again to Dezzo di Scalve at an elevation of 750 metres From this village you cycle the short but difficult climb over the Passo della Presolana (1,297m) The asphalt roads in this course are wider which make the climb seem easier then it really is. You will finish in the village of Presolana after a short two-kilometre descent |
