    The pass is located at an altitude of 1,852 meters above sea level.

    It connects the Valtellina Valley (Bormio) with the Camonica Valley (Monno).

    The pass lies in the heart of the Retiche Mountains, in an area full of mountain lakes and steep Alpine landscapes.

    The Mortirolo is a legendary climb of the Giro d'Italia. The most famous is the climb from Mazzo di Valtellina – twisty, steep, and long, with an average gradient of around 10–11%, reaching 18–19% in some sections.

    Many cyclists consider it one of the most challenging climbs in the Alps, alongside the Stelvio and Gavia.

    The Mortirolo Pass is where such luminaries as Marco Pantani have won or lost stages of the Giro.
