October 19, 2013 (Italy) – One Way Canada’s Rob Vellend is in Europe for meetings and snapped this great pic of Swiss star Dario Cologna (now sponsored by OW) training on the famous Stelvio Pass in Italy, renowned as the highest paved mountain pass in the Eastern Alps, and the second highest in the Alps, slightly below the Col de l’Iseran. The Stelvio, of Tour de France fame, features 48 hairpin turns near the top of the eastern ramp and is a popular training spot for top level cross-country skiers – read more on the Stelvio Pass here.
