The Stelvio earned its place in the hearts of the ‘tifosi’ as far back as 1953 when Fausto Coppi attacked Hugo Koblet before going on to win the stage and claim his fifth and final Giro win in Milan. The Mortirolo, Lance Armstrong reputedly said it was the hardest climb he had ever done, made its first appearance in the Giro in 1990, and is part of the long route Gran Fondo Stelvio Santini.
We have taken over 250 riders to experience the many emotions that these climbs have to offer. Dudley Samuels has personally climbed the Stelvio 11 times, and every time was even more exciting than the time before. The SteIvio awaits!
This, the greatest of the great Gran Fondos, starts and finishes in bella Bormio, in the Italian Alps, also know as the ‘Magnifica Terra’.
