Stelvio Tre Modi – 15/7/2021 > 19/7/2021

The event commences from Bormio,  you will be climbing straight away with 21kms ahead of you with an average gradient of 7%,which will lead you to the first feed station which is just 3km short of  the top of the pass of the left.

We suggest you take on food and a rest before dropping down into Prato. After a careful decent circa 24km, you will then turn left and level out along a rolling terrain for circa 15km , upon which you will take a left turn and be at the base of the Umbrial Pass.

Find your gear, rhythm and commence climbing the Umbrail for circa 16km at an average 8%. You will cross the boarder back into Italy  and carry on for circa 1km to the 2nd feed station, this is the same one you stopped at on the way up the Stelvio from Bormio. At this point you must arrive within 6 hours of the start, the cut is 14:30. Failure to arrive by this cut time mean you will be eliminated from the event. Should you wish to continue then there will be NO SUPPORT available.

The Broom wagon will follow the last rider on the course 

By now you would have covered  circa 76km , after you have been fed, watered and rested , U-turn and retrace your steps by dropping down the  Umbrail Pass.

If at this point before returning down the Umbrail Pass , you feel  you have had enough then carefully desend down the Stelvio to your hotel, but I am sure you would want to continue and complete this epic challenge you came to do.

When you reach the T-Junction which is the base of the Umbrail Pass turn right and retrace along the Vally road , then take right , signed STELVIO and  commence the final climb of the Stelvio from the Parto side  – a 24km climb to reach the finish line (third feed).
