Having travelled this route previously in good clear dry conditions, to do it in mist and rain is a disappointment. Some fantastic views to be had,especially with snow on the mountainside.Very narrow in places and care to be taken, watch out for 4 wheeled vehicles! or even 2 wheeled with little regard for the treacherous conditions and road!
Off the beaten track. Great easy gradient ascent on a quiet road, takes you to a spectacular lake with strategically placed refugio.
quite narrow and steep road, mostly used for bikers and cyclists! for car it takes aprox. 2-3 hours.
For those that are in shape cyclists, this is quite an adventure, tough but also with spectacular views.If you are not in shape, use your motor bike! (by car it does not provide you the excitement it should)
Stunning scenery after the half way point and even at this time of year it's cold at the top so take a minimum of a Gilet and gloves !
Nice , famous and quite mountainpass to climb with a bycicle.You have to to some serious training before...Great nature
It really remind me of Norwegian mountain roads 35 years a go. They are all closed no, but in Italy you can still test your self.Only grass at the road side protect you from falling several hundred meters should you misjudge a curve or your own speed. This is a must for the rider og driver that seek the ultimate challenge.
This was a big challenge. Steep grades, altitude and occasional difficult terrain. Get a good nights rest before tackling this one.
We continued from Passo Stelvio over Bormio to Passo di Gavia. It gradually becomes more challenging, but going down definitely requires skilled driving. We had thick fog and traffic coming up hill. The road is narrow and there are places where two cars cannot pass each other without moving aside. With soft shoulders and no safety rails, this requires patience, good nerve and skill. Take care!
Just stunning views. Most likely you're traveling by bike or motorcycle if you're up here. Unbelievable scenery!
