Pretending we are in the Giro d’Italia once again and ticking off another bucket list cycling climb as part of our three day cycling adventure in Bormio, Italy. This time, we are cycling up on another one of the most iconic mountain passes from Bormio: Passo Gavia.
Taking in incredible switchbacks (or hairpins), alpine scenery, glacier peaks and Lake Bianco (Laga Bianco rather), we get our mountain goat on, alongside some actual goats. The climb is beautiful – a little spicy in parts with some gradient jabs that batter my tired legs after taking on the double Stelvio the day before (riding up and down two sides of Passo Stelvio in one day – going back for the triple for sure!)
A few items featured in the video are incredibly kindly gifted by some amazing partners (feel so lucky, thank you).

What a way to celebrate your anniversary 😊
Nord Italia e Bellissimo 😊
Some great quality footage, spectacular
Nice! Congratulation! Santa Caterina – Bormio ❤
The scenery is pigging glorious! I really enjoyed that – thank you
You jammy pair of sods 😂 some epic view's indeed 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Incredible day Kate! What a difference 90 days make. We had to climb through the clouds, snow on the too and a frozen lake. The ladies at Refugio Bonetta are gold though! Well done for climbing this beast after double Stelvio!
Wow wow wow, very nice
