Cycling day trip from Stilfs to Sant'Antonio

Ready for a true mountain adventure? This route takes you from the picturesque village of Stilfs (also known as Stelvio), perched on the famous slopes of the Ortler Alps, all the way down to Sant’Antonio. Don’t let the 82 km distance fool you—this is a ride packed with serious climbing, with over 5,000 meters of ascent! You’ll work your way up to elevations above 2,600 meters, surrounded by incredible alpine scenery and likely some chilly air at the top.

The route is a real mixed bag surface-wise: part smooth asphalt, part gravel, and plenty of stretches where the path is less well defined—so prepare for some proper adventure riding. Over a third of your journey will be on tracks and paths, giving you a true taste of the remote, rugged side of South Tyrol and Lombardy.

Sant’Antonio is a small, peaceful village—the perfect finish after a big day in the saddle. Make sure you bring plenty of water, snacks, and layers; cell service could be unreliable in remote sections. This is one for seasoned riders looking for a challenge and epic mountain views!
