1999 Avalanche Memorial and Gavia Road Gravel Variant

Highlight • Monument

a very spectacular gravel / mtb variant that allows you to avoid the dark tunnel. Here in 1954 18 Alpini lost their lives by falling from the cliff with the military vehicle on which they were traveling: care must be taken even by bike!

Gavia Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

A famous Alpine climb, the Gavia pass was climbed for the first time since the Giro d'Italia in 1960. The first to reach the summit was Imerio Massignan, who during that stage, the twentieth, from Trento to Bormio, attacked the pink jersey Jacques Anquetil. Massignan, however, was very unlucky and on the descent towards Bormio he punctured four times, however earning the nickname "angel of Gavia", as described in the splendid novel "Imerio" by Marco Ballestracci. The Gavia was last ridden by the Corsa Rosa in 2014. As well as being one of the historic climbs of the Giro and of road cycling, the Gavia is the perfect starting point for some of the best off-road trails you'll ever come across. Do.

Santa Caterina di Valfurva

Highlight • Settlement

Santa Caterina is the last inhabited village before the ascent to Passo Gavia.
From here begins what is the real ascent of the Gavia, from Bormio to Santa Caterina is just a small taste.
In addition to being an important cycling village, it is also a destination for many hikers who venture into the surrounding mountains.

Ponte di Legno

Highlight • Settlement

Ponte di Legno is a municipality located at the northern end of the Camonica valley, between Lombardy and Trentino. Its name derives from two factors: "Ponte" because it has always represented a point for crossing the Oglio, and "di Legno", which derives from the ancient name of the upper valley, "Dalania", as attested by Carlo's donation Magnus of 774 AD.
