Gita in bici di un giorno da Bormio a Ponte di Legno

This epic cycling route takes you from the charming alpine town of Bormio to the picturesque Ponte di Legno, covering just under 72 km and a majestic 2,500 meters of ascent. Starting in Bormio—a hotspot for cyclists nestled at the foot of the Stelvio Pass—you’ll quickly get a taste of true mountain riding, with long, quiet climbs and sweeping alpine descents.

The journey takes you almost entirely on smooth asphalt and quiet roads, so you can really soak in the views rather than dodge traffic. There's a smattering of gravel and unpaved stretches—perfect for mixing things up and adding a dash of adventure. The ride peaks at just over 2,100 meters, so get ready for some breathtaking scenery (and maybe thin air!).

You'll wind through stunning valleys and past mountain streams before rolling into Ponte di Legno—a classic Italian mountain village that’s a popular base for summer hikers and winter skiers. This route isn’t for the faint of heart, but if you love challenging climbs and alpine panoramas, you’ll have a blast. Remember to pack layers—it can get chilly at the top!
