#5 Passo dello Stelvio
Nicknamed as "His Majesty", the king is here. With 2.757m above see level, Stelvio Pass is the highest paved mountain pass in the Eastern Alps and the second highest in the Alps.
#6 Torri di Fraele
Right after Stelvio pass comes this beautiful climb (8,9 km at 7%) until 1.941m above see level

Maybe the most iconic and historical pass from Giro d'Italia. The pass will be climbed from Mazzo di Valtellina, the most demanding and traditional Mortirolo's side (12,2 Km at 10,7%)

The next parcour is the Gavia Pass, which is one of the highest paved passes in the Alps (2.621 m)

Parcour #11 is one of the most famous climbs at Giro d'Italia (2.239 m)

Just 10 Km between those passes at 2.000m above see level whose views are indeed breathtaking

You will climb until Rifugio Auronzo, through the Tre Cime Lavaredo route, where you will enjoy the legendary three Lavaredo peaks
#16 Sella di Razzo
Sella di Razzo pass is probably not as famous as other passes in the area, but same as beautiful if you can stop a few minutes on the top
#17 Passo della Forcella
This pass starts in Ovaro, well known as it is the starting point of Monte Zoncolan, considered the toughest paved climb of all three cycling grand tours. However, Passo della Forcella is even tougher! 9 km at 14,5% and a terrorific last km in scratched concrete at 22,5% average with 28% maximum incline. For us, the new "piu forte de Europa"
#18 Monte Zoncolan
Considered the toughest climb of the cycling grand tours, ahead of Angliru or Alpe D'Huez, this climb is worth to live once in life. Will you be able to climb it? and even better, will you be able to climb it after Passo della Forcella?
#19 Edelweißspitze
The Edelweißspitze is the highest paved point on the Großglockner Alpine Road (2.571 m) in Austria
#20 Finish in Munich
Will you be able to get until the end and smile? Congratulations!!!
