Do you get mobile phone reception in all these high mountain places?
Yeah, pretty much. Being a foreigner helps, as because you can roam between local networks, you get the best available signal.
Which Milan airport are you flying into, Linate or Malpensa? The drive up to Bormio is not too bad, once you're past Lecco it's less busy and for a lot of the way you're on the autostrada so not many too roundabouts to worry about.

Wow thanks a lot, great info and duly noted, time to get route planning. I am already ridiculously excited, and was kind of expecting ones like the Stelvio to be super popular with sports cars and bikes too, but hopefully still nice compared to cycling around London.
Actually the drive from Milan airport to Bormio is the bit I most anxious about as I not driven on the wrong side of the road for 15 years, and never in Italy, so only have the old stereo types to go on, so lean on the horn and do the sign of the cross before each roundabout and hope for the best. And those aren't dents, they're parking kisses :)
