Road cycling

What can one say about the classic road bike par excellence? The Stelvio Pass is a must for every racing cyclist. You start in Prad am Stilfser Joch, where the ascent over the pass road with 48 hairpin bends begins. On the more than 2,700 meter high pass, the air is thin and the view is fabulous.

The following well-deserved descent lets you cross the border to Switzerland at the Umrail Pass. The road zigzags down into the beautiful Münstertal. Back in South Tyrol, it goes past Glurns and Lichtenberg back to the starting point. And if you want to experience the pass road without motorized traffic, you should mark the Stelvio Cycling Day in bold in your calendar: https://www.nationalpark-stelvio.it/de/erleben/radfahren-mountainbiking/radtag-stilfserjoch.html.

Stelvio Pass Hairpin Bends

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

The 48 bends of the Stelvio Pass are a must for anyone who likes racing bicycles in the Alps. Dodge the traffic by driving at dawn - who starts at sunrise in the summer, can look forward to a great experience that he has to share at most with a handful of like-minded early bird.

Regardless of whether you turn to the Umbrail or drive down the valley all the way to the Ofen Pass - in any case, a wonderful route without excessive challenge in terms of the maximum gradient. Road at its finest and wonderful views included.

Definitely use it. Much quieter than the road.

Great weather caught, the climb is sometimes brutal, you don't get anything for free, but it's worth it, behind every bend there is a new great view uphill and downhill

Due to the rather modest weather forecast for the next few days, it was already at six this morning from Austria to Italy. At ten on the dot I sat on the bike, ready (?) To conquer the Passo della Stelvio. With Martin from Minten, whom I met on the way as a fellow sufferer, we tormented our way down …

Probably the best route I've ever ridden. The view is simply breathtaking. Very good road surfaces, the descent through Switzerland is simply brilliant and there is hardly any traffic. On the uphill, however, there are an extremely large number of motorcycles that are faster than average and louder. The radar function is highly recommended here...

Change of location to Val Müstair. With the rest of the day that had started, I was able to crank up the Stelvio Pass in a wonderfully relaxed manner. I think the flood of images speaks for itself. The traffic was limited - in the upper part consisted mainly of sports car drivers who documented their reckless drive with all …

Stiffl...Stilfl...Stilfserjoch! The air was thin up there - and had to be shared with a lot of people.
Today the Stiffl...Stilfl...Stilfserjoch was closed to motorized traffic (except for e-bikers, but to my surprise they were mostly cannon fodder). 😈

Dry and sunny weather is forecast, with temperatures staying just under double digits at the top. So it's ideal for tackling the 48 hairpin bends. At 10.20 a.m. the ascent begins gently in Prad. So you can roll up before the steeper sections begin. It is positive that there is very little traffic on the entire route up to …

Spontaneously on our way back from the Dolomites, we finally conquered the Stelvio. There's not much to say about it, except that it's supposed to be one of the absolute highlights for racing bikes and should be on every racing cyclist's bucket list... well. It's impressive, the queen of all mountain passes... but unfortunately it's also far too busy. The …

Up the Passo today, 25 km climb with 1780 hm in partly humid weather 🚵‍♂️🥵
The landscape makes up for the torture, it was the 2nd time today 💪
From Prad 🇮🇹 to the Stelvio and over the Umbrail Pass 🇨🇭 back down and back to Prad.
