  • What andyp said. All good recommendations. I'd also add Falzarego in the Dolomites. San Pellegrino is worth doing too, as is the Colle Santa Lucia. Definitely do Tre Cima. It's a dead-end, so it's a there and back ride, but it's a proper climb.

    If you go to Bormio then it's worth doing Umbrail as part of Stelvio - go up from Bormio, go down Umbrail, then up Stelvio and back down again. There's a rather nice restaurant about 1/4 of the way down Umbrail on a hairpin, but watch out on the descent if you indulge at lunchtime - some of the corners on Umbrail have a tightening radius if you're descending and a friend of mine nearly ended up headbutting a Citroen Picasso while we were chasing a Ferrari 360 down to the bottom. #CSB/GolfClubThread

    TBH though, I'd spend the week in Corvara. There's more than enough riding to do there for a week, and then you can save Bormio for another trip. It's worth doing Mortirolo from both directions IMO. The route from the south is the most consistently difficult (and is the classic route) but the route from the north has some properly evil little ramps of 25+ degrees. And if you're in Bormio, it's worth popping over the border to do the Albula/Fluelapass loop. Both great, albeit very different.

    Ah, international travel. I miss you so much, for so many reasons...
