You are going to cross the border with Switzerland so it is advisable to take your passport with you. Data and statistics say that you will have to ride for 33.4 km, fortunately with flat sections especially close to Miralago, after 8 km of constant ascent. The most difficult part arrives after Poschiavo, more precisely after the little village of S. Carlo. At this point the aim is to reach the pass at 2330 m a.s.l. The maximum gradient is 12%. The long straight roads can be very challenging and that's why it is good to know that the first landmark is at km 28 where the road becomes flat and there is a restaurant. A last effort and you will reach the crossroad to livigno, easily recognizable by the Customs building. Only 3 km more and you will arrive at a little lake with a mountain hut.
