Going up from Ponte di Legno, after the tunnel there are the last 2.5 km to get to the pass. On our left the spectacular scenery of the Alps opens and looking down we find the blue-green waters of yet another alpine lake

The tunnel is not illuminated. You really need a good front light otherwise you will wander around. You see very little. Also need a rear light of course.

Gavia Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

A very nice pass! Scenic a smooth one. Deductions in the B-Note are available for - to my taste too many - motorized vehicles. Apart from that, it slowly but steadily climbs up to the summit without being too steep. But there is an awesome place: right up there is a tunnel waiting for you. In contrast to the otherwise well-known galleries, the tunnel is actually pitch-black. You just do not see anything. And: The drivers do not see you at all. So remember to bring at least a little lighting for this tunnel, it will greatly contribute to your relaxation. ;) If you do not want to drive through the tunnel, you can take the dirt road outside. However, he is not mobile with the road 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.

Overnight stay at the Rifugio Bonetti at the top of the pass. A good dinner, a heavy hailstorm, and a peaceful night.

We climbed from Ponte di Legno to reach Passo Gavia, if we have to do it, we might as well do it from the harder route. But we didn't imagine the road was so narrow, in some places barely a car passes, with great risk for those who cross each other, going up or down. There are not always protective …
