Umbrail Pass (2503m) – Highest Paved Road In Switzerland – Road Cycling Tour Umbrail & Stelvio Pass
Cycling up to the Umbrail Pass is exceptional. Demanding, beautiful and rewarding. An often forgotten road as it stands in the shadow of the mighty Stelvio Pass. Don’t miss out on this one…

Great ride and great video. You said the passes are closed from novembre may till may. That is Such a funny thing to realise… Here in The (crowded) Netherlands it is a long time when a road is closed for one day. But yes, we don't have mountains…
Servus Ingo . Umbrail ist für mich die härteste Stelvio Anfahrt . Ein Traum , wenig Verkehr . Wir Kölner sind gerade am Nassfeld , seit Tagen nur Kaiserwetter im drei Länder Eck . Morgen gehts nach Slovenien , keep on pedaling
Thanks for the lovely video . you re right , Umbrail pass is not that known even in Switzerland despite it is the highest road pass in the country . did it once back in the early 2000's coming from Engadin , Fuorn Pass first and then Umbrail pass , at that time the road was not fully paved , about 6km were in gravel which add some special touch to the climb . take care
Fantastic climb, fantastic filming, fantastic video. You want to keep the Umbrail unknown because once the crowds, coaches, cars and motorbikes come it will be ruined. Only cyclists should be allowed to ride it and the Stelvio ;@). Btw have you done a video on climbing/descending the old Gothard Pass or the old Passo di Tremelo it might be called, the one with the cobblestones? That is pretty nice to do from the few videos I have seen.

Thanks for the lovely video! Which way would you prefer cycling the Passes. Umbrail – Stelvio oder other way round? And why?
I did the Umbrail Pass and the Stilfser Joch now as you recommended. Look at my video. It's now online.👍 Enjoy!
Bravo. I'm going to do these passes in spring 2023. Ciao
Awesome video, thanks. I rode from Fuldera, CH to Prato, up the Stelvio, down the Umbrail, back to Fuldera. July 4, 2013
Inspiring!
Heading to Bormio in July – cannot wait to see these views 😍
Danke danke danke für das tolle Video! Ich habe es im Juli vor und kann es nicht erwarten das zu schaffen ❤
Wonderful video – thank you for sharing – this inspired me to do this tour the same way you did it in this video.
