The bottom of the cycle path is a gravel dirt road, therefore perfect for gravel bikes. It can also be tackled on a racing bike. On the complete circuit of the lake there are a couple of places where you might find yourself pushing your bike

Poschiavo town square

Highlight • Settlement

Poschiavo "Mediterranean lifestyle"
Mediterranean lifestyle in the midst of an alpine backdrop. A small town whose townscape is protected because of its historical significance. Poschiavo also stands for culinary delights and cultural wealth. Experience this on a village tour through narrow streets, across the most beautiful village squares or in the important art museum.

Bernina Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The climb to the Bernina Pass starts from Tirano (440 m asl) and is 34 km long, in a wonderful valley with spectacular views over the Bernina glacier.

The first part of the road is a very challenging one, with steep slopes until the Poschiavo lake. You can easily cycle to Poschiavo (the town) even on secondary roads and bike paths. Then the climb, which is very long and hard, starts again up to the pass.

The average gradient of the slope is 7.5%, the maximum slope is 9,5%. The vertical drop is over 1.890 m.

Lake Poschiavo

Highlight • Lake

Formed by the post glacial landslide of Mount Giumelin, Lake Poschiavo has been an important resource for electricity production since 1904. A place much appreciated for the beauty of the landscape.

Epic descent from Teglio to Tresenda

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The driveway to Teglio with about 400 meters in height would be quite remarkable in any low mountain range. Here, however, she goes through at best as a warm-up program. All the more beautiful, however, presents the subsequent descent back to the valley of the Adda. High speed paired with a fringe of vineyards and the breathtaking views of the valley and the mountains behind it - it can hardly get much better! Be careful towards the end of the descent. It joins the main road and the Italian motorist in itself is not known for its everlasting consideration of racing cyclists in the intoxication of speed. ;)

Challenging ride, but beautiful. Undecided whether to do the terraces with a passage to Teglio, in the end, given the clement and hot day, I opted for a bit of coolness in the high mountains.
Initially the plan was to do Bernina and Maloja with departure from Sondrio and arrival in Colico along part of Valtellina, Val Poschiavo, Engadine valley …
