Gravel riding

This tour takes you from Bormio to the Umbrail Pass and back again. And not on tar, but on gravel. Exactly, you read that right. You can also climb this Alpine classic on a fine gravel slope, using the unique hairpin bends on Monte Pedenolo.

You start your gravel adventure in Bormio. For the first 15 kilometers you cycle uphill on asphalt at a pleasant incline to Lake Cancano. From here it goes into a beautiful valley. With every turn of the crank it becomes quieter and lonelier. The winding climb to Monte Pedenolo begins at around kilometer twenty. The higher you go, the better the view gets. At 2,750 meters you reach the highest point of the tour with the Boccetta di Pedenolo.

This is followed by a bumpy single trail to Bochetta di Forcola. From here you can already see the pass road. We then go downhill to the Umbrail Pass via a beautiful S1 single trail. After the obligatory photo stop, you roll back along the road to Bormio, where you can end the tour with a delicious ice cream.

July 19, 2024,Day 1: High alpine gravel at its best – Bormio beyond the Stelvio
For my first gravel Tour, I'm riding with Stefano and our guide Matteo, a passionate local cyclist. We head out of Bormio on the road leading to the Stelvio, but leave it shortly after Bagni Vecchi.

We join the ancient Salt and Wine gravel road, used in the Middle Ages to trade wine from Italy to central Europe and salt …

Challenging climb. After leaving Bormio and passing the old and new bathing establishments, the dirt road begins. The first 10 km are on compact, packed gravel and a very wide road. But the gradients are often in the double digits, with peaks of up to 20%. As the road climbs, it becomes a trail, always rideable, always steep. This section …
