Road Cycling Routes near Valdidentro

A classic long and challenging loop starting from Livigno, which can be tackled in either direction. Climbing the Stelvio first allows for a more relaxed return via the Bernina and Forcola passes. Along the route, there are plenty of refreshment stops, bars and restaurants available. This route can easily be started from Bormio as well.

The three giants around Bormio: the Mortirolo from Mazzo, the Gavia from Ponte di Legno, and the Stelvio from Bormio. You won’t find anything better. Cycling legends come alive on every kilometer of these iconic roads. One tip: the main road following the Oglio River from Monno to Ponte di Legno can be quite busy: use the bike path!

A classic loop starting from Bormio. After descending the Valtellina, the route climbs the Bernina from Tirano, just like the famous red train. Its tracks often cross the road, so stay alert! The return to Bormio takes you over the Forcola, Eira, and Foscagno passes.

The Mortirolo offers countless routes, and here you’ll get a taste of a few. After a “gentle” approach from Grosio, before reaching Monno you’ll tackle the Recta Contador, a former mule track with gradients of up to 24%. Another highlight of the day is surely the ridge road between Monte Padrio and Trivigno.

Perhaps the easiest possible route from Bormio. Descend the Valtellina to Grosio, known for its aromatic specialty called pesteda, and then climb back via the Sentiero Valtellina. This long, well-maintained bike path lets you ride safely away from traffic.
