STELVIO. 🏆

Accepted Answer

LOCATION: VAL MUSTAIR (CH)
RIDE DISTANCE: 100 km, 70 mi
ELEVATION: 2000m, 6500 ft
DETAILS: Let’s be honest - today is why you’re here. Stelvio. Switchbacks after switchbacks. The G.O.A.T. and highest paved mountain pass in Europe. We leave in the early morning to ride down the valley of mustair, passing a UNESCO-heritage historic monastery, and cross into Italy at the bottom of the valley. After a short flat(ish) last warm up, the climb up Stelvio begins. Once you have earned your bucket list tick, we descend on the other side, and also add the Umbrail Pass to the collection with just a short saddle, so two passes for the effort of (almost) one.

Question 20

GRIMSEL & FURKA

Accepted Answer

LOCATION: Andermatt, Switzerland
RIDE DISTANCE:ELEVATION:DETAILS: Grimsel is a perfect mix of sights and effort in its own. Long, but never overly steep, the road straddles along gorges and waterfalls, sometimes car free and on short cobble stone sections - before we descend on Switzerland’s most fun descent to Gletsch. After this we climb Furka on the other side of the valley, with famous historic hotel Belvedere sitting in a hairpin close to the top. The ride down to Andermatt is more technical.
