"The King." One of the most legendary peaks in the cycling world that every cyclist wants to conquer at least once in their life. You will ascend it from Bormio and Prato, with around 3,500 meters of positive elevation gain on the route. 22 kilometers of ascent with an average gradient of 7%. 48 hairpin turns that you will remember for a lifetime.
You probably recognize these names and have seen professional cyclists struggle on their slopes more than once. Today, you will climb Mortirolo from Mazzo, with an average gradient of 11% and rarely dropping below 8%. After the descent, from Pezzo, you'll have 17km at 7.5% to reach the summit of Gavia before a long descent back to Bormio.
Return to Milan airport. We hope you enjoyed this cycling challenge.
