Embark on a challenging road cycling journey from Chiesa in Valmalenco to the Campo Moro Dam, a difficult route spanning 22.6 miles (36.4 km). You will conquer an impressive 3927 feet (1197 metres) of elevation gain, typically completing the ride in about 2 hours and 29 minutes. The route winds through the scenic Valmalenco valley, featuring constant climbs and tunnels carved into the rock, some of which are long and dark, before reaching the iconic Campo Moro Dam with its serene lake views.
To tackle this demanding climb, you should possess very good fitness, especially as the gradients intensify after Campo Franscia. Be prepared for varied road conditions; some tunnels can be dark and may have pebble floors or even ice early in the season, so bringing lights is essential for your safety. Plan your visit carefully to ensure you are well-equipped for the high-mountain environment.
This particular route is renowned among cyclists for its inclusion in lists of tough climbs, highlighting its significant challenge and rewarding experience. It has even been a part of the prestigious women's Giro d'Italia, underscoring its status as a formidable ascent. The journey offers a true high-mountain experience, providing a unique perspective of the Italian Alps and the engineering marvels of the dams.
