Passo di Gavia | 2618 METER | Ponte di Legno Bormio

The Gavia Pass is a mountain pass in the Italian Alps, between the Sobretta-Gavia group in the west and the Ortler Alps in the east. Located in Lombardy, it connects Bormio in the north with Ponte di Legno in the south with a 43 km long pass road. There is a difference in altitude of about 1400 metres to overcome to reach the pass summit at 2618 metres. The Gaviapass is occasionally included in demanding mountain stages of the Giro d'Italia and often marks the highest point of the race, the Cima Coppi, where the most mountain points are awarded.
