			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bormio è terra di <strong>ciclismo</strong>; in una conca fra montagne altissime ci sono alcuni fra i passi più alti d’Europa. Passi che hanno fatto la storia del ciclismo su strada.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Coppi sullo stelvio nel 1953" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fibPNvKR5rU/TTYc9UepVkI/AAAAAAAASGY/39ZFrXPaOy0/s320/coppi1953.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="320" /></p>
<p>Con i suoi 2758m di altitudine, una pendenza media del 7,6% e una massima del 14%, il passo dello <strong>Stelvio</strong> è stato teatro fin dal 1953 di tappe che hanno segnato il Giro d’Italia (9, di cui 3 con arrivo in vetta). Epiche alcune edizioni come quella del 1965 dove i ciclisti sotto un’improvvisa nevicata riuscirono a scalare il lato valtellinese grazie a centinaia di spalatori e quella del 1972 con Galdos e Fuente che si diedero battaglia fino alla cima. Il Passo dello Stelvio è anche teatro ogni anno di 2 suggestive scalate: il <strong>Mapei day-Re Stelvio</strong> a Luglio e la <strong>Cima Coppi</strong> a Settembre.</p>
<p><span id="more-457"></span></p>
<p>Il <strong>Gavia</strong>, nonostante un’altitudine assoluta solo di poco inferiore e una pendenza massima del 18%, in virtù del dislivello inferiore è meno impervio dello <strong>Stelvio</strong>. Ciò non di meno anche sul Gavia sono state scritte pagine esaltanti della Corsa Rosa. Memorabile l’edizione del 1988 sotto la neve con Van der Velde che scollinò per primo ma fu costretto a fermarsi per evitare l’assideramento. Anche il Passo del Gavia è teatro ogni anno di una scalata nel periodo di luglio chiamata <strong>Gara ciclistica Passo Gavia.</strong></p>
<p><iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/rnJvU0ofskc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Anche se inserito nel Giro per la prima volta solo nel 1990, il terzo passo che fa vibrare chiunque segua il ciclismo è il <strong>Mortirolo</strong> (passo  che in precedenza non esisteva in quanto era una semplice mulattiera). Lo scollinamento è a “soli” 1852m ma con una pendenza massima del 18% e con lunghi tratti con pendenza costante dell’11% che non concedono tregua.  Indimenticabile la cavalcata di Marco Pantani nel 1994 che lo consegnò alla storia (sulla vetta è posto un monumento alla memoria del grande corridore romagnolo).</p>
<p><iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PLQ95a5ks5E" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Nella zona di Bormio esistono anche altri passi in cui in tempi differenti il Giro d’Italia e altre competizioni minori hanno fatto tappa: il <strong>passo del Foscagno</strong> che collega Bormio a Livigno e i <strong>passi del Bernina</strong> e <strong>della Forcola</strong> che da Bormio attraverso Tirano conducono sempre a Livigno attraverso la Svizzera.</p>
<p>Per chiunque ami il ciclismo e voglia ripercorrere i Passi di cui abbiamo parlato, Bormio è il punto ideale di partenza e di arrivo. Inoltre con i suoi stabilimenti termali (Bagni di Bormio e Bormio Terme) offre la possibilità a tutti i cicloturisti di rilassarsi tra una salita impervia e l’altra.</p>
<p>Il nostro Hotel Cristallo**** offre a tutti i cicloturisti che intendono affrontare queste salite una guida esperta e specializzata in grado di seguirli e condurli con competenza e serietà. In Hotel è possibile inoltre usufruire di una piccola officina attrezzata con rastrelliere, angolo per il lavaggio delle biciclette, cavalletto e set di attrezzi adatti alla loro riparazione, oltre a mappe e informazioni dettagliate su tutti i percorsi della zona. È inoltre disponibile gratuitamente un servizio interno di lavanderia per indumenti sportivi.</p>

<p>Favourite destination for <a href="http://hotel-bormio.cristallohotelresidence.it/en-bormio-hotel/bike-trails-bormio/"><strong>cyclists</strong></a> and <strong>bikers</strong>, that on its many hairpin bends show off their skill, the <strong>Stelvio Pass</strong> is the kingdom of sportsmen, that here can ski also in the summer. To discover Stelvio, the ideal is however to visit the famous national park that preserves its nature still uncontaminated.<br />
Between Lombardia and Trentino-Südtirol, in the heart of the central Alps, the <strong>national park of Stelvio</strong> is extended on a surface of 130.700 hectares, dominated by the tops of Ortles and Cevedale mountains. <span id="more-343"></span>The many tourist runs proposed by the Stelvio Park allow the visitors to walk up to the 3.905 meters of the glacier of the Ortles.<br />
Just the ample high excursion among the different zones of the Park allows admiring innumerable botanical species, sometimes very rare as the ranuncolo of the glaciers.<br />
Particularly variegated it is also the fauna of the Stelvio: besides the alpine Ibex, official symbol of the National Park, in this special habitat it is also possible to see chamois, eagles, foxes, marmots, ermines and sparrow hawks.<br />
Excellent to spend a holiday discovering the Stelvio, the <a href="http://www.cristallohotelresidence.it/"><strong>Cristallo Residence Hotel</strong></a> waits for you in <strong>Bormio </strong>with excellent rooms, good prices and an excellent cuisine.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://hotel-bormio.cristallohotelresidence.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/sci-estate-stelvio.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-231" title="Summer Skiing Stelvio" src="http://hotel-bormio.cristallohotelresidence.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/sci-estate-stelvio-300x200.jpg" alt="Summer Skiing Italy" width="300" height="200" /></a><br />
Among its more famous symbols there are with any doubt the Alpine Ibex that populate its famous <strong>national park</strong> and the many difficult hairpin bends on which the cycling champions are challenged, but the mountain of <strong>Stelvio </strong>became more and more also a ski paradise.<br />
Best known to welcome important cycling races and for its typical flora and fauna, this important mountain between <strong>Lombardia </strong>and Alto Adige welcomes in fact an important ski area, with 20 kilometres of ski-runs opened for seven months every year. <span id="more-239"></span><br />
On the <a href="http://www.cristallohotelresidence.it/"><strong>Stelvio ski area</strong></a> it’s possible to ski the whole summer long: a real godsend for people who love this typically <strong>winter sport</strong>.<br />
The <strong>glacier of the Stelvio</strong> represents the bigger summer ski area of whole Alps. From May till November, you can ski on the Stelvio in a beautiful landscape like those of Ortles and Cevedale mountains. Nature, sport, walking in the national park and now also summer ski paradise. To ski on the Stelvio is the ideal for who want to have fun on the snow even in the summer: here, among the 2.758 meters of Stelvio Pass and 3.450 meters of Cristallo Mount, the Cristallo <a href="http://www.cristallohotelresidence.it"><strong>Hotel in Bormio</strong></a> waits for you&#8230; snow never misses.</p>
