The Foscagno Pass (2,291 meters) connects Bormio and Valdidentro to Livigno, and represents the only route to reach Livigno without going through Switzerland. It can easily be reached by car via the SS 301 aptly named "del Foscagno."
The climb of 24 km, with a height difference of 1,066 meters, is ideal as preparation for more challenging routes, and is often taken by professional cyclists who choose this area for altitude training.
At the Foscagno Pass, there is also a customs office of the Guardia di Finanza to regulate crossings to and from Livigno (duty-free zone).
