Warm-up in the Prosecco Hills

After a short transfer to the wine town of Soligo, the ride starts with a beautiful, mostly flat stretch that hugs the Prosecco Hills.

The shortest option circles back through Rolle before returning to Soligo via the postcard-worthy Molinetto della Croda.

The medium-length option passes through the towns of Guia and Combai before continuing on to Rolle and back to Soligo.

The most ambitious can additionally head up the challenging but spectacular Passo San Boldo climb before heading back to Soligo.

Intro to the Dolomites

A morning transfer of around 1 1⁄2 hours will bring you to the starting point at San Vito di Cadore, where a short warmup ride leads to the chic town of Cortina, a spectacular launching pad into the Dolomites.

From here the real climbing begins as the route climbs to the Passo Falzarego, then a short way further the Passo Valparola, before descending into La Villa for the last gently uphill stretch into Corvara.

For the mountain goats, a more challenging option is available that first takes in the ‘easier’ side of the Passo Giau before taking on the Passo Falzarego. You can also choose a less challenging way after the Passo Giau and head down to Arabba where a milder climb up to the Passo Campolongo will take you to Corvara.

Welcome to the Dolomites!

Epic Dolomites

Route A heads first up the Passo Campolongo before taking on the Passo Falzarego and the Passo Valparola. Make sure not to stop for too long once reaching the Falzarego, the Valparola starts soon and, although not long, you'll feel it in your legs! Route B does the same loop as Route A but in the opposite direction, which is a bit more challenging. Be aware that there are construction sites up the Passo Valparola from the San Cassiano side. For those wanting to test their limits, Route C starts with the Passo Campolongo, before descending into Caprile and taking on the very challenging Passo Fedaia, followed by the Passo Sella and Passo Gardena. Whichever you choose, you are guaranteed breathtaking views.

The Sellaronda Bike Day

Today is your day to experience “the most beautiful bike ride in the world”, the Sellaronda, the ride around the Sella Group mountains. Enjoy your perfect bike ride. There will be no cars or motorcycles on the route until 2 pm.

It is mandatory to take the loop in a counterclockwise direction. However, you may see some rebels riding in the other direction, so be careful on the descents and try to keep to your right as much as possible.

From Corvara, the following climbs will be ticked off your bucket list: Passo Gardena, Passo Sella, Passo Pordoi and finally Passo Campolongo. Make sure to stop by La Tambra shortly after summiting the Campolongo for a well-earned drink and apple strudel!
