The climb to the Umbrail pass from Bormio is basically the same as the climb to the Stelvio. You just stop a bit earlier. If the top of the Stelvio is not your goal, this is definitely recommended, with slightly less altitude metres. The descent on the Swiss side is a wonderful reward for all the climbing, and with a small loop can be combined with the Stelvio climb from Prad.... read more

Beautiful climb from Bormio. Same climb as Stelvio but keep left at the junction at the top. Beautiful scenery. Recommended to ride up in the morning before the sun. This way you can do a kiss from Bormio with first Umbrail then later Stelvio.

Prachtige klim vanuit Bormio. Zelfde klim als Stelvio maar links houden aan de splitsing boven. Prachtige landschappen. Aanrader om in de ochtend op te rijden voor de zon. Op deze manier kan je een kus vanuit Bormio doen met eerst Umbrail dan later Stelvio.

Questa salita è la parte più bella, a mio avviso, della salita allo Stelvio

De beklimming naar de Umbrailpas vanuit Bormio is eigenlik hetzelfde als de beklimming naar de Stelvio. Je stopt alleen iets eerder. Mocht de top van de Stelvio niet het doel zijn is dit zeker een aanrader, met net iets minder hoogtemeters. De afdaling aan de Zwitserse kant is een heerlijke beloning voor al het klimwerk, en met een klein lusje te combineren met de Stelvio klim uit Prad.
