Madonna's Greatest Bits

Northern Italy • Start/finish: Madonna di Campiglio • Distance: 175 miles • Riding time: 5.5 hours • I first visited Madonna di Campiglio because I read that it was the favourite ski resort of a certain Valentino Rossi... and the roads around it are certainly champion! This relaxed day-long route takes in the kind of quiet, less-well known passes popular with locals but rarely busy with tourist traffic.
