Passo Palade (Gampen Pass)

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

The increase runs very smoothly without ramps. The road is wide enough for cars and trucks to overtake easily and the surface is very good.

Gampen Pass / Passo Palade

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Gampen Pass can be incorporated into many beautiful road cycling tours. The long descent to Lana is a truly special sporting and scenic experience.

June 16, 2025,Pässedoppel - von Bozen über Mendel und Gampen

As a Munich resident, you're not from South Tyrol, but rather from the flatlands, so it's better to first ease your way back into the world of mountain roads with some more moderate climbs.

The classic double route of the Mendel Pass and the Gampen Pass came at just the right time, even if the first few kilometers were still …

The start and finish are in Nalles. The so-called apple autobahn takes you towards the Mendola Pass with little traffic and great views of Lake Caldaro. Via Our Lady in the Forest (what a place name!), Gampenpass and Tisens we drive back to Nalles.

Day 5 ️⃣ on 🇮🇹 vacation

➡️ a big THANK YOU goes out to Steffen 😊

After yesterday's "Ronda" it should be quieter again today and so the "Passo Mandola" ➕ "Passo Palade" called, but today's highlight of the day should lie in between, which the 🐷capitano Robert Petzold (Petz Racing) recommended to us ➡️ "Monte Penegal” (1727m)

The descent from Tisens isn't as scenic as the one to Lana, due to the 14-16% gradient. The uphill is definitely more interesting... Otherwise, it's top-notch again.

Conclusion of our extended good-weather WE in Eppan (near Bozen). We didn't want to go that far originally, but the weather north of the Alps was just too bad. Betina had to work this morning, which gave me time for a decent round of passes. I was back in time for lunch.
I wasn't expecting too much from these second …
