Taking full advantage of our local knowledge this trip takes in all the charm and savage beauty of the Dolomites and the Italian Alps. We’ll begin by exploring Bressanone and the mountains that surround it, while also getting a taste of some local culture and cuisine from Eros Poli, who went on to win Olympic gold and one of the most famous Tour de France stages of all time.
The second part of this adventure will take you north, right into the high mountains. At 2,758 meters, the Stelvio is the highest paved road in Italy and along with its neighbors, the Gavia and the Mortirolo, it has shaped bike racing since being introduced at the Giro d’Italia in 1953, when the race organizers pitted their greatest champion, Fausto Coppi, against the greatest challenge anyone could imagine. There are higher roads, but none compare in terms of history and for racing fans, these remain the purest and most exciting climbs in the world. And because you’re with inGamba, you’ll experience all of this with the kind of equipment and support that normally only professionals can enjoy.
