- This tour brings you to the mighty Stelvio Pass in South Tirol / Italy. Many have "conquered" this pass but not too many back to back. Started this trip from Prato (Prad) to the top, then down to Bormio and back up again. I feel privileged!
Enjoy the video and let me know your thoughts.
Cheers Ingo

Yeah, Stelvio was crazy busy in late July this year. The Bormio side was fine going up early in the morning. But the Prato side was in places almost like a traffic jam of Lambos, Ferraris, Mclarens, motorbikes, etc. I even rode into the back of an NL-registered car coming out of hairpin 38 when the nervous driver braked suddenly due to an oncoming motorbike. When our group got down to Prato, a few of us said “f*** that” and took the Umbrail Pass back to Bormio. We had done Stelvio on a previous occasion so it was good to do something new anyway. Umbrail is hard, and the Swiss don’t erect signs showing distance to go and gradient. For me, the Stelvio is spoiled somewhat by all the motorised traffic (thanks, Jeremy Clarkson) and the Gavia is now the Queen of the Alps…especially from Ponte.
Well done! Traffic usually starts at 10am. Agreed, I also love the Gavia.
Wonderful!!!! Grazie
I tried to press the thumbs up button 2 times. Great job, well done. Let the legs burn it down. Nice Video work. A few days ago i forced it myself. Awesome climb. Life is easy: Eat - Sleep - Bike.
Cheers Roberto

Francesco thank you. Sure you will do it in 2024. Once you go down on the other side, you'll have to go up again 😉😎

Excellent video, know-how of the area and country side : )
Fantastic video and a really great effort
Thank you
I travel to Bormio in July this year........I am still in 2 minds whether to do Stelvio from both sides!
Very cool
That looks like an awesome climb.
Cheers Jon, made me sweat 😅
Wow Ingo, you are a legend
Regards Joe K.
Cheers Joe
Amazing Tour Ingo! Congrats! I've to do it once too :)
Danke Jens. Projekt Gemeinsam😉
Did it today. Weather was better than expected. Monster Climb in 2:10. Exhausting but beatiful
Well done, brilliant time
What an incredible ride and absolutely stunning scenery. I would need to camp at the top and recover overnight before attempting the other side 😂. I'm busy preparing for the Old Mutual Wealth Double Century taking place in November. Slowly building up the fitness again after a very lazy winter.
Thanks Gary👍 will be arriving in CPT on 26.9. Maybe you'll fancy a ride in October? Cheers Ingo
@@BicycleBeyond I would definitely like to do a ride with you sometime in October. We can chat closer to the time and perhaps do a midweek ride 👍
Well done, Ingo; you are a beast doing both sides of the Stelio. You certainly deserved that pizza.
Cheers Leonard ... and 🍺
Really great video! I was just there last week. Did the Prato side last Thursday and the Bormio side on BIke Day (Saturday). They were jammed up on the Prato side on bike day at the top. Doing both sides on the same day is beyond me. Congratulations, that is very impressive. Both sides are amazing.
Cheers Craig and well done! Great achievement.
