Although it does not start directly from Bormio, the Mortirolo Pass (here in its more scenic version from Grosio) is a must for those taking on the challenges of the Stelvio Epic Rides. With a length of about 12.5 km and an elevation gain of about 1,300 meters, it has average gradients of more than 10 percent and sections that exceed 18 percent. It is a short but very intense climb, a real “wall” that tests physical and mental endurance, but gives an indescribable feeling of victory once you reach the top.
Easier slope, but not too much either, to reach the Mortirolo Pass. It certainly offers extraordinary PANORAMICS, with typical alpine pasture areas, meadows and quaint huts. It lives on refl it glory, but in any case it constitutes a viable alternative to those who find the real Mortirolo too diffi cult. In the last three kilometers the road overlaps the mythical route.
