We wrapped up the day on a 20mi climb with a corking ascent out of Innsbruck, finishing upon the top of Brenner Pass in the border town of Brennero.

  • Role: journey waypoint
  • In the article: The day’s ride ends at the top of the pass; the writer remarks that Brennero is not one of those border towns that surprise and delight.
  • Why it matters: The pass marks the crossing from Austria into Italy on the tour.
