Of the 3 slopes, for me the most beautiful! As a rule, there is very little traffic, perfect asphalt and very beautiful scenery. The climb is tough, but always steady. Once you have found the right rhythm, you can easily reach the top. When you reach Umbrail, you take a breather for a moment before tackling the last 3 km up to the pass. Stock up on water at the start of the climb because there is none to be found on the route.... read more

Dei 3 versanti, per me il più bello! Di regola c'è pochissimo traffico, asfalto perfetto e paesaggio molto bello. La salita è dura, ma sempre regolare. Trovato il ritmo giusto, arrivi tranquillamente fino in cima. Arrivati all'Umbrail si rifiata un attimo prima di affrontare gli ultimi 3 km fino al passo.
Fare scorta di acqua a inizio salita perché sul percorso non se ne trova.

for me, it was harder than the other 2 sides of stelvio because of fewer hairpins to rest on! lovely ride however, from Prato around into switzerland to mustair.

Cycled today with good weather. continuous 8-10%, which really started to hurt at the end, especially with wind against in the last 6km. Nature on that side, and the views themselves beautiful!

Vandaag met goed weer gefietst. continu 8-10%, wat aan het einde echt zeer begon te doen, zeker met wind tegen in de laatste 6km. De natuur aan die zijde, en de uitzichten zich prachtig!

The third alternative to the Stelvio is the least famous, but has Edenic landscapes. Much less traffic than on the Lombardy and South Tyrolean sides.

La terza alternativa per lo Stelvio è la meno famosa, ma ha paesaggi edenici. Molto meno traffico che sul versante lombardo e su quello sudtirolese.

Lovely climb! Done late at night so hardly any traffic from the efteling village in the Mustaïr valley. First hairpin turns and then a beautiful green valley up to the Umbraïl pass. To then add the last bit up to the Stelvio pass is a nice dessert. We did 'the tripod' of the Stelvio climbs today. This was the last one and thus a big win at the top.

Heerlijke klim! Savonds laat gedaan dus nauwelijks verkeer vanuit het efteling-achtige dorpje in het Mustaïr dal. Eerst haarspeldbochten en dan een mooie groene vallei tot de Umbraïl pas. Om dan nog even het laatste stukje tot de Stelvio pas erbij te pakken is een mooi toetje. Wij deden vandaag 'de driepoot' van de Stelvio beklimmingen. Dit was de laatste en dus een grote overwinning bij bovenkomst.
