ソンドリオでののおすすめグラベルライド

The trail from Italy to Switzerland after the Refugio Val Viola is technically demanding but rideable in most sections. I find the difficulty rating somewhat optimistic. You should definitely pay attention to the signpost to the right (bike route). I strongly advise against taking the path straight ahead, even though it's also marked as a bike route on the Kompass map. This section will require carrying your bike and is quite challenging (we were there and turned back!). According to the owner of the Refugio Campo, mountain rescue has had to be called out several times for bikers needing assistance on this stretch! From Switzerland towards Italy, starting about 1 km after the Refugio Campo, you'll have to push and carry your bike for a considerable distance up to the Passo Viola (not recommended). Here too, the difficulty rating is a bit optimistic. In any case, it's a great and challenging trail for mountain bikers in a beautiful landscape.

A great pass not far from the busy passes, great scenery and views also make the Ofenpass a highlight.

The military road takes you to the next junction

My bike computer read 40°C. Brutal heat, and therefore brutally exhausting! But also awesome!

The Rezzalo Valley is a beautiful, wild valley in Valtellina, part of the Stelvio National Park. It's an ideal place to immerse yourself in pristine nature and offers fantastic cycling trails. Many routes connect it to the Alpe Pass, creating complete, scenic loops.

The Verva Pass offers a lesser-known but incredibly rewarding climb, ideal for those seeking tranquility away from the more famous passes. Its challenging gradients amply repay the effort with breathtaking views from the summit.

A technical trail to the Umbrail Pass. Riding this trail, you'll be surrounded by marmots, ibex, and ibex. Above all, you'll see the Stelvio Pass road from a different perspective.

Climbing towards the Bocchetta di Forcola, it feels like cycling on Mars with an open valley.
