The climb to Passo Gavia from Bormio is a journey through unspoiled nature. About 25 km long, with an elevation gain of about 1400 meters, it alternates challenging sections with brief reliefs. The road, narrow and at times exposed, crosses woods, pastures, and rocky areas, culminating at 2621 meters at the pass with a view of the alpine lakes. It is a climb that demands respect and preparation, but it offers unforgettable emotions.

It returned to prominence in 2010 with the Giro d'Italia passage. The climb starts already from Bormio, although it gets tough after Santa Caterina. Climbing steadily for a few kilometers, you reach the Roccette area, where you can admire the valley and the Forni valley, dominated by a vast glacier.

At the pass stands the statue of the MADONNA DELLE VETTE, called to watch over and protect cyclists.
