Is touring up to Bormio possible in April?

[raybo]

I am planning a tour for next April that will start and end in Milan and tour the lakes region and lower mountains. I plan to ride east to Verona skirting the southern parts of the lakes and the foothills and then head north into the mountains, heading west back toward Milan.

Since I will be there in early April, I figured it was best to keep the route elevation under 1000 meters as much as possible. Though, I like the idea of riding up to Bormio just to do it. It would likely be an up and back as no train services Bormio. I see that the high temperature in April in Bormio is around 40F (10C), so it would be cold.

I've roughed out a route (http://mycycletour.com/displayroute.php?RouteNumber=317), though mostly this was clicking waypoints and letting the mapping software draw the route. It isn't the actual route I'll follow but gives an idea of what I have in mind.

Has anyone ridden up to Bormio or thereabouts in April? Is this even a good idea?

I'd also be interested in any and all thoughts on my route idea or other suggestions. Note that I don't want to ride the Cinque Terre or down into Tuscany for other reasons.

Am afraid I can't answer your question, though you might find this film interesting if you can track it down

It's available with subtitles.

I saw it last week at the Italian cultural institute in London.

The sad looking guy in the film is collecting remnants of WW1.
