Cycling associates Campiglio with Marco Pantani who won his last stage here as a runner. It was 1999
The arrival of the stage was in the center of Campiglio and the champion from Romagna crossed the finish line in the pink jersey after an uphill sprint of 5 kilometres. And right there is the arrival of the climb. In 2015 the Giro d'Italia reached Patascoss, the starting point of the 3 Tre.

Start
Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
We start from Pinzolo, in the Rendena Valley, before the bridge over the Sarca River in Carisolo, and climb for 15 kilometers. From an initial 6% gradient in the first few kilometers, the road becomes tougher towards Sant Antonio Mavignola; it reaches 7% where Pantani crossed the finish line, maintaining an average speed of almost 30 kilometers per hour. Let's not be discouraged; the road is still manageable for enthusiasts, with a final two-kilometer stretch where you can relax. The gradient is only 2%. Let's take a look around. Madonna di Campiglio is the pearl of the Dolomites, telling stories of cycling but above all of mountains and mountaineers, starting from the great Cesare Maestri.
