Discover Bormio, the summit of your biking passion.
Bormio is your next destination for a cycling adventure that will remain etched in your memory. Here, amidst the majestic Alps of Alta Valtellina, Stelvio Epic Rides is born: not just a cycling challenge, but a unique experience that celebrates the passion for cycling, the greatness of the mountains and the discovery of an inimitable territory.
A unique experience, a territory to discover
Immerse yourself in the heart of a globally recognised cycling paradise. Stelvio Epic Rides invites you to take up a challenge with yourself, cycling on routes that have made cycling history with epic stages of the Giro d'Italia and discovering hidden gems of our territory.
Designed for the road cyclist who dreams of conquering the great passes, the Stelvio Epic Rides challenge is an inclusive adventure, open to all two-wheel enthusiasts. Whether you choose the agility of your road bike, the adaptability of a gravel bike, the robustness of a mountain bike, or the thrust of an e-bike, you will find your rhythm and your epic adventure in our Alps.
Two challenges, an infinity of emotions:
-
Main Challenge: Conquer the three iconic climbs of the Giro d'Italia: Stelvio, Gavia and Mortirolo. Names that evoke fatigue, glory and unforgettable views.
-
Explorer Challenge: In addition to the triad of giants, set out to discover the 7 “hidden” climbs of Alta Valtellina. Routes that will take you to the Cancano Lakes, Fumero, Monte, Forte di Oga, Bormio 2000, the Strada dei Forni and the Forcola Pass. To complete this challenge, you will have to tackle 6 of the 7 “undiscovered” climbs.

The beauty of Stelvio Epic Rides is its flexibility: you can take on the challenges throughout the opening period of the passes, choosing the best time for you, and you have the possibility of completing the 10 climbs challenge even over several years, returning to ride your favourites to improve your performance.
A gesture that counts: safety and values
Stelvio Epic Rides is not just passion for cycling. It is a project that supports an ethical cause: part of the proceeds from registration will be donated to the Michele Scarponi Foundation, to promote the safety of cyclists on the road. A way of cycling with a deeper meaning.
