Description of selected climb
Long, tough and scenic. The north side of Passo di Stelvio greats you with 1808 altitude meters. The road runs through a total of 48 numbered hairpin switchbacks. First 8 kms at more moderate gradients. Last 10 kms at between 8 and 9 per cent. For the last 7 kms you have open views to the top - and the about 20 hairpins ahead - grinding up barren mountain side. On sunny summer days you won't be alone.
