The Stelvio is a dream climb for every cyclist. Approach it from the north, south or Swiss side and each road reveals a different character: the famous hairpins, the long mountain gradients and a spectacular change of scenery near the summit.

During the trip, we’ll base ourselves in Mals, an authentic town in the Vinschgau Valley known for its restaurants and, arguably, some of the best gelato you could imagine. It is a welcoming place to return to after a big day in the saddle.

Across the week, we’ll ride through Italy, Austria and Switzerland. Beyond the Stelvio, the routes take in Lake Reschensee, the Kaunertal Glacier Road and Swiss Alpine valleys. The rides range from shorter local climbs to ambitious cross-border days, so there is room to vary the pace.

This is a trip built around iconic climbs, beautiful Alpine roads and the simple pleasure of discovering the mountains on two wheels.
