Bormio is an important ski resort of Alta Lombardia, close to Switzerland border, the foothills of the italian giants passo Stelvio (2744meters), passo Gavia (2650m) and the terrific Mortirolo.
Riders level :
The Dolomites climbs are usually not very long but the gradient could be frightening sometimes, that makes the legend of italian passes, like for example the Fedaia (17%), passo Giau (16%) or Tre Cime di Lavaredo (20%).
The climbs from Bormio are differents, longers, 13 to 19 miles and highers with more reasonable gradient, except passo Mortirolo (19%).
The climbs succession, high altitude and no real valley make the challenge difficult but so enjoyable. A mountain tour package with 5 to 7 riding days, from 200 to 300 miles, and about 10-12 climbs.
