Stelvio to Bormio Dolomites Bike Tour
If you dream of conquering the Giro’s most iconic climbs, this is your ride. The Stelvio to Bormio Dolomites Bike Tour takes you deep into the heart of the Italian Alps, where every switchback tells a story and every summit rewards your effort with jaw-dropping views. We’ll climb Passo dello Stelvio, the infamous Mortirolo, and the mighty Gavia — routes feared and revered by pros, yet completely accessible with our expert support team by your side.
Each day, you’ll ride from one cycling legend to the next, fueled by hearty mountain meals and nights spent in comfort at our alpine hotel in Bormio. When you’re not riding, unwind in the local spa, enjoy regional cuisine, and soak in the cycling culture of this high-altitude haven.
Bike Tour Itinerary
Tackle the legendary climbs of the Giro d’Italia with full support and unforgettable alpine scenery.
Meet your guides at Milan Malpensa Airport for a transfer to the charming mountain town of Bormio. After settling in, we’ll fit your bike and offer an optional warm-up ride to shake off the travel and get a feel for the terrain. Explore Bormio’s historic center, then join the group for a gourmet welcome dinner.
We kick things off with a bang: the legendary Passo dello Stelvio. From Bormio, it’s a 25 km climb to the summit — one of the most scenic and famous ascents in Europe. After descending to Prato allo Stelvio for lunch, we climb the Stelvio again from the other side. It’s a tough day, but one you’ll never forget.
Ride into Santa Caterina di Valfurva and begin your ascent of Passo Gavia — remote, wild, and magnificent. Then comes Mortirolo, often called the hardest climb of the Giro. Thick forests, punishing gradients, and the sense of history make it a rite of passage for serious cyclists.
A rolling start out of Bormio leads to the base of the Mortirolo. This is the infamous side — steep, relentless, and iconic. After celebrating at the summit, enjoy a well-earned descent before climbing back to Bormio. Expect a sense of achievement like no other.
Today we head into Switzerland! Ride through Livigno — a training base for pro cyclists — and up the scenic Umbrail Pass. We’ll loop back to Bormio via an exhilarating descent of Stelvio, adding another epic tick to your Dolomite résumé.
Your final ride is a beauty: up to the turquoise Cancano Lakes, set in a high plateau dotted with hairpin switchbacks and alpine views. Cap off the day with a scenic climb to Bormio 2000, a gondola-accessed ski area with incredible views — and coffee, of course.
After breakfast, we’ll transfer you to Milan Malpensa Airport. Time to say arrivederci — until the next adventure.
