    Road cycling

    The climb to the Bernina Pass starts from Tirano (440 m asl) and is 34 km long, in a wonderful valley with spectacular views over the Bernina glacier.

    The first part of the road is a very challenging one, with steep slopes until the Poschiavo lake. You can easily cycle to Poschiavo (the town) even on secondary roads and bike paths. Then the climb, which is very long and hard, starts again up to the pass.

    The average gradient of the slope is 7.5%, the maximum slope is 9,5%. The vertical drop is over 1.890 m.

    I admit, I like taking this pass on the Rhaetian Railway to the Ospizio Bernina station and then just rolling down towards Pontresina.

    Still impressive Alpine scenery, assuming the weather cooperates.

    Two great weather, two foggy, snowy, and headwinds.

    Famous and scenic passable Alpine pass that connects Val Poschiavo to the Engadine. From here you can do beautiful downhill trails up to Poschiavo.
