Get ready for a proper alpine adventure! This epic cycling route starts in Zernez, a charming Swiss mountain village known as the gateway to the Swiss National Park. You’ll pedal southward through jaw-dropping mountain scenery, tackling nearly 3,150 meters of ascent before a huge, rewarding descent into Bormio, Italy.

The route covers almost 83 km, and you’re in for mixed terrain: expect everything from gravel and forest tracks to some smooth stretches of asphalt. About 36% is unpaved, so a gravel or mountain bike is highly recommended. One of the big highlights is crossing the legendary Stelvio Pass, topping out at a dizzying 2,900 meters—one of Europe’s highest paved mountain passes!

Bormio is your finish line, a stunning Italian town famous for its thermal baths and as a frequent Giro d’Italia stage finish. Pack layers (and snacks), and get ready for one of the Alps’ most unforgettable rides!
