MORE ABOUT THE TERRAIN
We have selected some of the best climbs of the Alps so the terrain will be mainly Mountains with some valley roads in-between. The start from Como is perfect as a warm up, but from day three we climb the Gavia and Mortirolo!
The climbs are long and steady and the gradient is always around 7-8% and when steeper, generally for short distances.
There are some exceptions of course, such as the Mortirolo and the Giau, where the gradient reach 15-17%!
