Santa Caterina di Valfurva

Highlight • Settlement

Santa Caterina is the last inhabited village before the ascent to Passo Gavia.
From here begins what is the real ascent of the Gavia, from Bormio to Santa Caterina is just a small taste.
In addition to being an important cycling village, it is also a destination for many hikers who venture into the surrounding mountains.

Ponte di Legno

Highlight • Settlement

Ponte di Legno is a municipality located at the northern end of the Camonica valley, between Lombardy and Trentino. Its name derives from two factors: "Ponte" because it has always represented a point for crossing the Oglio, and "di Legno", which derives from the ancient name of the upper valley, "Dalania", as attested by Carlo's donation Magnus of 774 AD.

July 10, 2025,🇮🇹 Rundtour Alpen - Tag 6 - von Ponte di Legno über Passo Gavia nach Bormio
Today I had to re-plan. I couldn't go down from the Passo dell'Alpe to Le Prese because the Sentiero Valtellina and the SP27 to Bormio were closed due to a landslide.
But I was compensated:
Luckily, the Passo Gavia was closed to motorized traffic today 😅. The weather is also cooperating, so there's no more snow on the pass road …
