Corvara climbing

Lots of options are available on this day depending on your ambition level and preferences.

One fantastic loop possible from Corvara passes through La Villa before heading up to the Passo Valparola and Falzarego. From here, the route descends down to Andraz then continues gently uphill to Arabba, before taking on the Passo Campolongo to return to Corvara. The route for the short course of the Maratona is the classic Sellaronda ride, considered one of the most beautiful bike rides in the world. It's also possible to do the Sellaronda route the opposite of the way it is done in the Maratona. Check out the Sellaronda Bike Day for more info on this equally spectacular route. There are also loops that head up the Passo Falzarego or the Passo Giau available. Take your pick!

Ready, Steady...

Enjoy an easy spin down to the Maratona Village and back to pick up your race pack and take in the festive atmosphere, then rest up for your big day tomorrow.

If you want to warm up your legs with a bit of climbing, tack on the relatively tame Passo Campolongo on the way back and have a refreshment at the Ütia La Tambra lodge near the top.

Maratona dles Dolomites - Enel 2025 Here We Go!

Following an early breakfast, you’ll have a short warm-up ride to La Villa for the start of this epic event. The first loop of the Sella Ronda is the same for all distances, so just ease yourself into the ride and decide later on how ambitious you want to be.

Alta Badia Exploration

This is a day to introduce yourself to the area and explore the beautiful options that are available a bit further afield. Leaving Corvara, it's mostly downhill until the turnoff at San Martino in Badia. From here the road climbs through Antermoia and up to the Passo delle Erbe. A picturesque loop in the Luson Valley brings you down towards the Eisack River before returning via the Passo delle Erbe back to Corvara. A shorter variation skips the Passo delle Erbe and continues along quiet roads to Rina-Welschellen before heading back to Corvara. For a medium mileage route and no serious passes, you can instead continue downhill after San Martino to Longega. Located at the end of a valley with restricted car traffic, the Pederú Lodge is the perfect place to get a bite and admire the 360-degree mountain views that surround you before heading back the way you came to Corvara.

One more ride and se vedon!

This route starts with a steady downhill all the way to the Val Pusteria. Watch for the bike path turn off before you reach San Lorenzo. There is a zebra crossing and a bridge on your right. There are no significant uphills until Fortezza, where it starts to climb gradually all the way to Brenner. The route is mostly on paved bike paths, and is spectacular, but watch out for touring cyclists coming the other way, as this is the popular Munich-Venice cycling path. Safe onward travels!
