Climbing Capacity
The route traverses the legendary Stelvio and Mortirolo passes, requiring prolonged power output on steep, sustained ascents totaling 4270 meters of climbing.
Descending and Technical Control
Navigating descents from major alpine passes demands steady focus, bike handling skills, and hand durability over a 151-kilometer course.
