One of the most coveted climbs by cyclists, which owes its legendary status to the Giro d'Italia, the Stelvio Pass stands at 2,758 m, making it the highest pass in Italy that is accessible by car. A spectacular series of bends (40 on the Lombard slope and 48 on the Alto Adige side)connect Valtellina to South Tyrol. Just below the pass, on the Valtellina side, the road crosses the Umbrail Pass, which leads onto Engadina (Switzerland).
The climb from Bormio to the Stelvio Pass is 21 km long, with an elevation difference of 1500 m and a maximum gradient of 13%.
