Bormio Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Bormio is a fairly well-known winter sports resort. What makes Bormio extremely likeable, however, is the fact that this small town has completely retained its idyllic atmosphere. No sign of sophisticated, artificial hotels. Instead, there are many small, cozy accommodations where Mama Leone herself is still in the kitchen and the owner tries to engage you in conversation while he looks after your bike - in Italian, of course. The cozy, authentic old town immediately puts you in a vacation feeling. The only thing that takes a little getting used to is the (also extremely authentic) Italian relaxed atmosphere - the town only really comes to life in the afternoon.

Fraele Towers

Highlight • Monument

The Fraele towers are signal towers, built in 1391 at a height of 1,930 meters above sea level and mark the border between Valdidentro and Val San Giacomo. They are located between Mount Scale at 2,521 meters and Cima Plator at 2,910 meters.

View of the Cancano Lakes

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lake Cancano remains slightly hidden by vegetation, an emerald green color dominates the plain once you reach the end of the paved road, but first you will find Lake Scale shortly after the Fraele towers; in my opinion much more beautiful and characteristic even if smaller, transparent water and green meadows create an exceptional contrast

Final Switchbacks Before the Torri di Fraele

Highlight • Trail

It is the most beautiful area of the entire climb, not only because of the tornanti, but also because of the views of the Valdidentro.
We cyclists always like to go up through tornanti, so you will surely enjoy this experience. And not just the first time... you always enjoy it.
