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.

The Gavia Pass, Passo di Gavia in Italian, is located in Lombardy (Italy) and connects the provinces of Sondrio and Brescia, or more precisely the town of Bormio in the north with Ponte di Legno in the south, via SP29 (Strada Provinciale 29) , which is the ex-SS300 road.

There are two ways to reach the summit, from Bormio and from Ponte di Legno. The climb from Bormio is nearly 25km long, but is the easier of the two since its average gradient of around 5% is much more forgiving. The ascent from Ponte di Legno is a few kilometers shorter, but is much steeper at around 8% with sections reaching as high as 16%!

For many, Gavia climb from Ponte di Legno is tougher and more beautiful than the Stelvio climb from Prato.

Pass height 2.560m. The road is single lane on both sides. From Bormio / Santa Caterina it is easier to drive as it is less steep (11% max.). From Ponte di Legno the street signs say that in between 16% are.
It is a very nice pass. The road surface is partly very old.
The tunnel is completely dark and also makes a curve so that you do not see the light at the end.
