Description...
Passo del Tonale - A stunning road, contour risers with fast sweeping bends, one or two 180 degree switchbacks.
We rode this on our way from our overnight stop in Platt, at the foot on Timmelsjoch on the Italian side and to Passo del Gavia. Approaching from Merano, which is slow with heavy traffic, but very beautiful, we rode SS42 which a great road when we managed to leave the traffic behind and climb up towards Passo del Tonale.
The top of the pass was great as well. Loads of space to park and take photos plus a great cafe and the opportunity to sit outside and watch other bikers and drivers pass by.
It can easily be reached from Passo del Gavia and depending on time and weather we may try and bag it on the 2015 tour.
