Climbs of Giro d'Italia - Pordoi Pass

The ascent to Pordoi Pass, several times stage finish of Giro d’Italia, is very regular, with an elevation development of 800 m, spread on a length of 12,8 km.

At Pordoi Pass, first stop by Fausto Coppi’s memorial, reminding the legendary ventures of this champion. At the inauguration in July 2000 took part the daughter Marina and Coppi’s three gregarious, Ettore Milano, Franco Giacchero and Michele Gismondi. Second stop by Gilberto Simoni’s Wilier Triestina Cento1, embedded since 2011 in a rock-and-steel monument. This is the very same bike the rider from Trentino entered the Arena of Verona with, at the end of his last Giro d’Italia, in 2010.

Author's advice: Recommended periods: from the end of April to the end of June and from September to end October. During the months of July and August, traffic is particularly severe on Dolomites passes (cars, motorcycles, buses).

E-bike charging station and kit for minor repairs by the valley station of Pordoi cable car. Refreshment points along the route.
