This climb has become a classic and is pedalled by mountain bike and racing bike fans alike. Fairly low gradients and no excessive climbs meaning it can be completed without problems using low pedal assist. The route leaves Bormio to the left, passing the characteristic church of San Gallo and Premadio. A little further on is a crossroads; go straight here and start the real climb as views open up over Valdidentro. This is the start of a long crossing that passes close to a picnic area and then up and around countless hairpins under the rocks at the top, where Torri di Fraele stands out, which you come to after two short tunnels. The climb ends in Cancano with a view of the two big dams.
