One of most scenic passes of Italy, the Timmelsjoch pass -
Passo del Rombo - connects the
Ötztal valley in the Austrian state of
Tyrol to the
Passeier Valley in the Italian province of
South Tyrol, as it bridges the saddle point between the Jochköpfl (3,141 m, 10,305 ft) and Wurmkogl (3,082 m, 10,112 ft) peaks to its northeast and southwest, respectively. The pass is sometimes called the "secret passage" because it is little-used compared to the much easier and lower
Brenner Pass some 25 km (15 mi) to its east, and
Reschen Pass some 60 km (40 mi) to its west.
Veloce provide daily guided cycling excursion to climb the Timmelsjoch pass including high end full carbon road bike rental, guide and team car support on the road.
On demand we can provide transfer services from/to Venice, Padova, Vicenza, Verona, Trento and Bolzano area.
