What the climb is like
A long, steady climb rather than a steep one. The lower half runs through the valley and forest; the stacked hairpins in the upper half are what the pass is known for. At this length most riders need close to two hours or more.
How to ride it in Pedalsim
Stelvio Pass is one of Pedalsim's built-in famous routes: open it from the button below, or under Famous routes in the app, and ride. Your trainer reproduces every change in its gradient as you climb, and the wind is the live weather at the climb, so a headwind on an exposed section feels like one.
At over 24 km this is a good route to ride in stages: stop at a hairpin, and the next session resumes right there.
Figures are approximate: sources measure the climb from slightly different points.
