Another loop that springs to mind is to continue down the valley pass the Mortirolo, then in Tirano turn right and climb the Bernina pass. About 3 kms before the top you can turn right over the Forcola di Livigno, drop down into Livigno itself then do the Eira and Foscagno, before a lovely long descent back down to Bormio.

@andyp yeah no hiding from those hills, but I'll try and squeeze in all you said. I just seen a few GPX files and there's seemingly no flat ever, just up or down, this from RWGPS has the Bormio-Stelvio-Umbrail-Stelvio-Bormio route at just under 12,000 ft climbing in 66 miles.

Mortirolo and Gavia 11,000ft climbing in 77 miles

That's what I've dreamed of tho, even if I'm questioning my eating habits all the way round. Hard work but think I can manage those, cannot wait.
