Mountain Adventures

Lombardy's Alpine landscape features some of Europe's most challenging and scenic mountain passes. This selection includes the Stelvio Pass, Italy's highest paved road at 2,757 meters, and the legendary Mortirolo and Gavia passes, both iconic climbs in professional cycling. Beyond the winding roads, the list highlights the UNESCO-listed Sacro Monte di Varese and the high-altitude Fornohütte. These locations offer access to the Rhaetian and Lepontine Alps, connecting historic border routes between Italy and Switzerland through rugged terrain and glacial valleys.
