The climb starts from Bormio and ends at Bormio 2000, where in winter months the ski slopes are located. The winding road cuts through the pine forest, and offers breathtaking views over the valley below.
The pros use this route on their "rest" days between one climb and another. For amateurs however, this is a pretty challenging ascent.
In 2004 this was the finish line of a stage of the Giro d'Italia.
Many hiking trails start from Bormio 2000.
