パイスコ・ロヴェーノのおすすめツーリングルート

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.

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.

Passo del Mortirolo (also known as Passo della Foppa) is one of the most demanding Alpine passes in Italy, especially famous in the world of cycling.

Arrival pass of the stage of many international races and above all essential for passing various passes such as Passo Cristina, Passo Mortirolo and Tonale

I cannot comment on the interior of this little church as it is closed, but I can certainly say that in its surroundings you can enjoy an exceptional view of Mount Disgrazia and the valley below (a view that is enjoyable, however, from various other points along the route)

passage in the historic centre of Edolo to take the cycle/pedestrian path - characteristic (real climb)

historic bridge of Edolo, from which you take the cycle/pedestrian path to Ponte di Legno/Tonale

A very tough climb from any side you choose to do it.
