Stage 3 – SPAR Swiss Epic 2025 | Team Stubbron Swedes | Bernina Pass – La Punt | 55 km / 1,200 m

Stage 3 is a high-altitude team time trial starting on the iconic Bernina Pass at 2,305 m, surrounded by glaciers and towering peaks like Piz Bernina. The 55 km route features 1,200 m of climbing and an exhilarating 1,800 m of descent, taking riders past the turquoise Lago Bianco before plunging into a fast, technical ride toward Morteratsch.

The legs felt heavy at the start, battling headwinds across the top of the pass — but once the trail pointed down, it was full gas all the way. Flowing through dense alpine forest towards Pontresina, the stage demanded both speed and precision. Before the final climb, a calm moment by the peaceful Lej da Staz lake offered a brief reset before pushing to the finish line.

A true test of power, teamwork, and timing against the clock and nature’s giants.
We crossed the finish line in 3:19:25 — pure mountain magic from start to finish.

Sorry for the blurry camera lens at the end — didn’t realize how sweaty my glove was when I wiped it.
