Lago Bianco - Passo Gavia (2621m)
The Gavia Pass lies in the Lombardy region and divides the province of Sondrio to the north and the province of Brescia to the south. The road over the pass (SS 300) connects Bormio to the northwest with Ponte di Legno to the south and is single track most on its southern section.

The legend states that the Lago Bianco and the nearby Lago Nero were born from the passion between Bianchina and Nerino, two young lovers who lived in those mountains, and spent their days immersed in their love.
Their happiness provoked the envy of Pinotta, who, with the intention to take revenge for their happiness, asked for help from Viz the magician.
The mage unleashed a strong snow storm on the Passo Gavia, so cold and impetuous that the two young unfortunates were transformed into two ice statues.
The Spirit of the Waters then intervened, moved by the sad fate of the young, and he tried to undo the spell, and managed to melt the two, turning them into two lakes.
Since then, legend has it that, even today, the two young people re-emerge from their ponds every night to continue their love interrupted by the storm, and people say they can hear them whisper in the night.
The mountain up right is Corno dei Tre Signori (3360m). It was given its name, which translates to "the horn of the three gentlemen", in the 19th century when the borders of the Republics of Venezia and Graubünden and the Archdiocese of Trento (Trient) met here.
Gavia Pass is at 2621 m the sixth highest paved road in Europe.
