CyclingUp: Italian Alps


This website provides information about famous passes like the Stelvio, Gavia, Mortirolo, Zoncolàn, Giau and the passes of the Sellaronda. Many climbs in the Italian Alps are really tough, which is reflected in the top-10 toughest climbs on this website; six of them are found in the Italian Alps. The hardest climb of the Italian Alps is the Monte Zoncolàn-west, among others because it includes the by far steepest kilometer (17.6%) of this website. Both the northern Dolomites (east of Bolzano) and the landscape of the Stelvio-east are superbly beautiful but unfortunately this is known among too many car and motor drivers. The ascents to the Monte Zoncolàn and the Mortirolo are much more quiet.
