A 1226.5 km route, with 58 passes and 27,991 m Elevation gain !

This long, varied and unique cycling adventure will take you to Venice (the pearl of the Adriatic) via road passes * which have the reputation of being long and difficult, such as the Grand-Saint-Bernard (2469 m ), the passo di Vaia (2113 m), the passo di San Pellegrino (1918 m), the passo de la Costazza (2175 m)... You will also discover all the charm and all the beauty of the great Italian lakes: Lake Maggiore, Lake Como, Lake Garda. During the crossing of the mountain ranges of the Brenta Dolomites and the Bellunesi Dolomites (located in the region of Trentino-Alto Adige also called South Tyrol), you will then discover a multitude of “breathtaking” landscapes!

Some short mountainous sections of this exclusive route developed in 1985 by Georges Rossini will be done on small “gravel” type roads.

* The passes are generally passable from June until the end of September. However, the opening and closing dates of the altitude passes may vary depending on the snow/weather conditions at the time.
