ドッソデルリロの峠・トップ12

Long climb up the pass, but really beautiful and very pleasant to ride

The Giovo Refuge is closed and unattended, in order to stay there you must ask for the keys in advance at the Sant'Anna restaurant in Germasino. Here you can leave the car to go up to Passo San Jorio or to continue on other paths. The road that gets here is not the best, as a large part of it is dirt, but with the right attention it is not a big problem.

Very nice pass, drive and enjoy

Heading south to the Alps for the first Control Point of the Race, TCRNo9 riders face a parcours that follows in the millenia-old tracks of pass-storming armies and traders — zig-zagging across the Swiss and Italian borders, over the high cols and through the steeply-gorged valleys of the now famous San Bernardino and Splugen Passes, before plunging to Chiavenna at the foot of the Maloja Pass. 2023 marks the 200-year anniversary of the modern road over the Passo dello Spluga. Here riders will free route from the end of the parcours to Control Point 1 in Livigno. Perched high in the Italian Alps, the location will force racers to remain in the mountains en route to Control Point 2. Livigno’s name stems from the old German word for ‘avalanche’ — a reminder to riders not to underestimate conditions here, something they will do at their peril as they traverse some of the highest paved roads in the region before being deposited at the foot of the mighty Stelvio National Park.

Wonderful view

Crossroads of itineraries located along the high road of the Larian mountains, a stage connects the Giovo refuge to the Menaggio refuge and the via del ferro, crossing from the Morobbia valley to the Cavargna valley. https://www.ticino.ch/it/itineraries/details/La-Via-del-Ferro-in-Valle-Morobbia/139294.html

Fantastic location. Nice to sit outside on nice days.

The return from the San Jorio pass can only pass from trail s2 first and then on this track, very smooth and fun. We pass through Brenzeglio and Quansc and then arrive in Garzeno. It has been recently fixed and therefore the bottom is quite loose but still easy to walk.
