STELVIO INTERNATIONAL 2003
They were many years that we thought there, we have had many shakings, but at the end there are definite and we have departed for that what I believe is the greatest demonstration to which has ever assisted, where the desire reigns of only to amuse him and the feel himself/herself/themselves an alone thing with her own motorcycle!
The Stelvio International has been for me really a very beautiful experience that the punishment has been worth to have to do around 1000 kms. in two days, but you look at the site of the organizers, he/she will know you to elucidate surely better of my impressions of I travel!

480 km.
The alarm clock of good time and immediately in highway for to get away himself the worse part of the trip!
To me it doesn't thrill very the Valtellina and then we decide to do a longer turn but that surely it will repay us with the beauty of the places.
The highway is the usual one boredom up to Bergamo, here her we go out and we take provincial 91 in direction of Sarnico, the countries to be passed not I am many but him it proceeds plain for the traffic; arrived in country we are practically on the lake of Iseo that we start to go up again through it government 469: we believed to find instead even more traffic the cars they were really little and this has us permission to taste us the beauty of the lake and her villas and also the beautiful curves and the latches of the road!

Reached the peak of the lake we take the government 42 and we begin to climb the Val Camonica, the traffic doesn't change but with pleasure the motorbikes increase and shortly have become a column in march toward Edolo and Wood Bridge!
To Ponte di Legno we believe to make a small deviation, and we arrive on the Tonal one, that after having only realized in the vacations, now we can taste there in all of his/her majesty, with the thick one of the Adamello that overhangs it and his Ossario of the Great War that watches over forever it.
After a deserved coffee we return back for taking back the road for the Gavia: it is always a government or the 300 but don't do you him in auto or you hope not to cross anybody in how much the small roadway entertains at the most a car! however the show is enthusiastically and arrivals to the hill with its 2650 ms. you are to a footstep from the sky and her snow on the Horn of the Three Lords is to a palm!
After the customary photos we go down for the Valfurva and we are pleasantly surprised from the road that it does him wider and with a I decidedly asphalt beautiful that makes you taste the beautiful alpine landscapes with greater calm.
We are on the fund valley and entered Bormio we unload the baggages in the hotel and immediately of spun to Sondalo where there we subscribe and we begin to wander about in mean to a crowd of motion and bikers.
