Bella Italia Tour

We’ll greet you in Milan and transfer you to Bormio, a charming Alpine town at the heart of Italy’s most famous cycling climbs. Settle into your private house accommodation, assemble your bike, and enjoy a relaxed evening with a welcome drink.

Take on one of the world’s greatest cycling climbs—Passo dello Stelvio (2,757m). Ride through its legendary switchbacks, soak in the breathtaking alpine views, and descend into Switzerland if you’re up for the challenge.

Tackle Passo Gavia (2,621m) with its dramatic landscapes, followed by the notorious Mortirolo, one of the hardest climbs in professional cycling. The support vehicle will be there for those needing an extra push!

Cross into Switzerland via Passo del Bernina before looping back through Passo Forcola di Livigno, Passo di Eira, and Passo Foscagno, offering spectacular scenery and smooth roads.

Enjoy a well-earned rest in Bormio, with optional spa treatments, an easy coffee ride, or a short spin along the valley.

Head into the wild beauty of Valle Spluga Alpe Motta, a hidden gem with incredible switchbacks leading to the Swiss border. A mix of climbing and rolling terrain makes this a varied and rewarding day.

You will experience a long day in the saddle, climbing Passo del Maloja before tackling the Berninapass once more, with stunning Swiss landscapes surrounding you.
