Passo Gavia
If you cross the town of Ponte di Legno and follow the signs towards Pezzo, you’ll reach the Passo Gavia. Things get interesting right at the uphill beginning, intertwining between fields and opening up onto a wide road up to the residential town of S. Apollonia, at the Stelvio National Park. After a few kilometers the road narrows and the considerable steep slopes begin: 16% and the 14% grade which suddenly flatten at 5%, immersing you in the panoramic view over the Valle delle Messi. You will proceed on exposed straight paths, where the vegetation thins out given the height (above 2000 m), the incline continues (9%) and you’ll reach the dark yet brief tunnel with an incline of up to 12%, which leads you to the last challenging segment of the climb in order to reach the desired spot. The road overlooks the Lago Nero and continues with high inclines up to the Passo Gavia.
My family spent a winter week at the residence and it was a good one. We decided to go for a package so everything, including ski passes, ski school and equipment were organized. the apartment was clean and warm and the staff was very helpful. L.K.
Position perfect, walk into town 5 minutes, to the slopes 5 minutes, lots of parking available. checkin and out quick. The rooms themselves are spacious, including the bathroom.. Nice balcony to go out on overlooking the river and mountains. W.P.
Located less than 100m from the main lifts in Ponte you reach the ski area in a snap. Apartments are large enough and have all important necessities including huge and sunny balconies to catch that winter tan. J.
