Many consider the climb to Passo Gavia from Ponte di Legno as being one of the most beautiful climbs in Europe, some even in the world. Undoubtedly, this is a pearl of a climb that should be on every cyclist's bucket list / palmarès. Where Gavia’s big brother Stelvio beats Gavia on altitude. Gavia beats Stelvio in beauty and tranquillity. Being the 9th highest road in the Alps, it is a true high alpine climb. The narrow, almost empty road makes this a ride out of the ordinary. The scenery and eye-popping views make you almost forget that this is a very challenging ride. Giro d’Italia has used this legendary climb many times, but also canceled the stage because of the bad weather. As a bonus, this ride takes you beyond Passo Gavio so you can enjoy the picturesque mountain lake ‘Lago Bianco’.

Take your indoor cycling to the next level and bike the world at your own speed:
Dive into an immersive indoor cycling experience with our training app ’Open Road’ for PC. The app contains ‘digital twins’ of real rides from all over the world. Using professionally produced cycling videos and the latest technologies in GPS and road surveying equipment, Open Road makes it possible for you to ride a perfect digital twin of the real ride. Open Road will realistically set the speed of the video at the speed you would ride if it was a real ride. With a smart trainer, you will feel the same resistance from gravity as on the actual ride. In short, Open Road offers you a much more realistic and immersive cycling experience compared to our ride-along videos on YouTube.

The app is compatible with all ANT+ cycling devices, including smart trainers, power meters, and speed sensors. Athletes with spinning and exercise bikes without ANT+ compatibility can control the speed manually and enjoy riding with all the important cycling data displayed during the training session.

Just add music:
Most cyclists would agree that the ride to Col du Tourmalet is outstanding. But when it comes to music, opinions are very mixed. This is why we haven’t added music and why we recommend adding your favorite music to the ride. It is quite simple. Mute YouTube and open a browser window. Find a site that offers music (Spotify, YouTube, etc…), pick the music you like, and enjoy the ride... The original sound of the ride has been left out. This is because the natural sound of the surroundings is drowned by noise from passing cars, vibrations from the road, wind, and the rider's breathing.
