クローン・ヴェノスタの峠・トップ20

Border crossing between Italy and Austria, the busy road can be completely bypassed on the cycle path.

There are three tunnels at the bottom. While they're relatively short and well-lit, I still recommend at least a rear light for peace of mind (the signposted bicycle detour for the lowest tunnel is definitely NOT recommended, as there are scree slopes that are quite dangerous even if you're pushing your bike). Overall, though, it's such a beautiful and varied road that you almost (almost!) forget how much your legs hurt. The traffic is really very relaxed, especially on weekdays.

Be careful when leaving, the road is in pretty bad condition

Along the way you can admire panoramic views of the Val Venosta and the Sesvenna Group

At each bend there is a sign with the current altitude and the numbering at the bottom, starting with the total number of bends and then counting backwards to 1️⃣ so you always know how many you still have to go

It's got it all: a long climb, plenty of hairpin bends, and a breathtaking view. That's if you're not pedaling.

Very nice cycle path between Nauders and Reschensee. Border crossing between Austria and Italy.
