Hello !

The route: Pietramurata (Italy) - Molveno - Passo Palade (1518 m) - Merano - Passo dello Stelvio (2760 m) -landslide on the descent - Bormio - Passo di Gavia (2621 m) - Ponte di Legno - Passo del Tonale (1883 m) - Dimaro - Passo Campo Carlo Magno (1682 m) - Stenico - Pietramurata. 

It contains wonderful valleys, challenging climbs and the time to finish the circl eis 34 hours.
