A Typical Itinerary
Day 1
Our Stelvio and Mortirolo trip is entirely flexible and this is just our suggested itinerary. Arrive into one of the Milanese airports and we will pick you up and take you to Bormio. We work with many hotels in Bormio from budget to luxury so just let us know what you prefer.
Day 2
We have 5 epic rides to choose from and our favourite is a true bucket list ride. You will climb the Stelvio from both Bormio and Prato climbing over 3,500m in the day.
Starting in Bormio, the climb is 22 km with an average gradient of 7%. You will skirt the Swiss border as you ascend to the summit with the final 3km of the climb ramping up to an average of 10% topping out at 2758m. You will then turn on your heels and head on a thrilling descent into Switzerland before coming face to face with arguably the most famous side of the climb, from Prato. The ride has a whopping 48 hairpins averaging 7.5% over 25km.
Ride the Stelvio's famous 48 bendsDay 3
This is another tough day in the saddle with a loop ride taking you up the Mortirolo and the Gavia.
You'll ride out of Bormio and head for the toughest climb in the region, the Mortirolo from Mazzo. The climb never dips below 8% average gradient and averages 11%. The climb is pretty relentless but you will pass cycling royalty as you come up to the Marco Pantani memorial, before the road picks up the road from Grosio. From here, the climb settles down and you will summit with views over Alpine pastures.
The descent takes you towards beautiful meadows before a gentle climb to Pezzo. From here you have 17km averaging 7.5% to the top of the Gavia climb, before a long descent all the way back into Bormio.

What Our Cyclists Say
I used Love Velo for the first time this year for our Cycling Club trip to Bormio (Stelvio/Gavia/Mortirolo). I normally arrange things myself but with 14 people I decided to go with a company. Love Velo were very helpful and responsive to questions and changes. The hotel was excellent for cyclists and the bikes good quality (Trek Emonda). Dedicated transfers to/from the airport made the trip complete. Great work Love Velo!

It all began with my friend wanting to “do something iconic”. So, we started looking into riding the Stelvio Pass. Once we arrived in Bormio the check in at the hotel was seamless, the facilities for bike maintenance & security were perfect. The Trek Emondas that Love Velo had arranged for us we’re great, just what we needed for some epic climbs.

Twenty of us travelled to the Italian Alps, to conquer Passo Dello Stelvio. The communication was great. Any questions we had, Love Velo were very quick to answer. The hotel we stayed at was brilliant, great service, clean and fantastic breakfast (cyclists love big breakfast). The bicycle hire was top quality and perfect for the Italian Alps climbs.
