Italian Alps - The Greats
jun/jul/sept/oct
The Italian Alps extend all across the north of Italy, along its borders with France, Switzerland, Austria, and Slovenia, they are immense, bold and stunning. Passo Stelvio (2757m) being the main attraction along with Passo Gavia and Passo Mortirolo.
We believe they are the best part of the entire Alps which stretch some 1200 kilometres across eight Alpine countries (from west to east): France, Switzerland, Italy, Monaco, Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany, and Slovenia. Why? The best food, wine, scenery and people on offer!
This tour allows you to ride both sides of the mighty Stelvio whilst discovering other magical climbs in the area.
