셀레로 최고의 사이클링 경로

기차를 타고 Edolo까지 갔다가 자전거를 타고 Ponte di legno로 올라갔습니다. 다음날 4개 구간으로 나누어 Mantova까지 출발했습니다. 매우 아름다운 자전거 도로입니다. 추천합니다

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.

In this place you can still see the remains of the “Third Line”, a system of bunkers and trenches that represented the last fortified defense of the Camonica Valley during the First World War. Built to block the Austrian advance towards Brescia, it was constructed between 1916 and 1918 with kilometers of trenches, roads and military mule tracks, as well as impressive works of war engineering, much of which are still visible today.

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

Whichever side you pedal, the pass is always a spectacle of nature…
