  2. Day 2

    Today's ride will conquer the formidable Stelvio Pass, covering an elevation gain of over 3,500m in a single day. Our adventure commences in Bormio, where the initial 22 km ascent boasts an average gradient of 7%. As we climb, we'll trace the Swiss border, and the final 3 km of the ascent intensifies to an average of 10%, culminating at the breathtaking elevation of 2,758m. Following this challenging ascent, a thrilling descent into Switzerland awaits before we confront the renowned Prato side. Brace yourself for an exhilarating ride featuring 48 hairpin turns over 25 km, with an average gradient of 7.5%. Today's ride promises both awe-inspiring scenery and a test of endurance on the iconic Stelvio climb.

  3. Day 3

    Another demanding day on the bike awaits as we embark on a loop ride tackling the challenging Mortirolo and Gavia climbs. Setting off from Bormio, our journey begins with the formidable Mortirolo ascent from Mazzo. With an unyielding average gradient never dropping below 8% and an overall average of 11%, this climb is a true test of endurance. Passing the Marco Pantani memorial adds a touch of cycling history before the road eases up from Grosio, leading to a summit with panoramic views of Alpine pastures.

    The ensuing descent guides us through picturesque meadows, followed by a gentle climb to Pezzo. From this point, a 17 km ascent to the summit of the Gavia climb awaits, boasting an average gradient of 7.5%. The reward? A sweeping descent all the way back into Bormio, completing a challenging yet exhilarating day in the saddle.

Reviews

What our Cyclists Say

Awesome customer Service like it used to be. I admit that I'm one of many people who have taken to booking holidays and flights direct to save a few quid. But when planning my husband's 50th birthday and knowing very little about cycling I decided to try Love Velo and I can't recommend them, and the service I've received from James Danvers highly enough.

I booked through Love Velo because the reviews were so good. I wasn't disappointed. Right from my first contact with LV they were easy to talk to and although I dithered (my first cycling trip abroad) they didn't press me. When I eventually confirmed my booking they took care of everything.

Everything about Love Velo has been faultless. From the initial notification of them teaming up with Le Col and to the pricing being unbelievable and then the customer service, top class. James, if all the staff are as attentive to every detail as you are then everyone will be as lucky as I have been. 100% at some point, hopefully in the near future I will be booking again with you guys. Thank you again
