Visit arguably the most famous Italian cycling destination and conquer the legendary Stelvio, Gavia and Mortirolo passes over a long-weekend of unforgettable cycling!

The Stelvio climb requires little introduction for cyclists, and for good reason. First introduced in the 1953 Giro d’Italia, it has broken the spirit of many professional riders, and is one of the iconic European climbs on many peoples’ bucket list. Based at a bike-friendly hotel in central Bormio, we will provide you with all the technical and moral support needed to ensure you enjoy taming this impressive climb, along with the equally challenging Gavia and Mortirolo passes.

Surrounded as it is by so many legendary Giro d’Italia climbs, Bormio itself is steeped in cycling history, and provides an ideal location for new and experienced cyclists alike to experience Italian cycling culture. Centrally located, our hotel provides the perfect cycling base, with safe bike storage, bike wash, tools, laundry service and cycling-friendly staff. And as ever with our trips, we aim to combine challenging and rewarding days on the bike with plenty of great Italian coffee, food and wine off the bike.
