day by day
Day 01
Transfer & Welcome
We start our adventure with an afternoon group airport transfer to the most beautiful valley in the Dolomites,
Val Badia. After setting up our bikes we will have a welcome drink and talk about cycling days ahead.
Day 02
Passo Valparola
Welcome to the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s time to admire its unique mountains.
Today’s plan includes conquering Campolongo, Falzarego, and Valparola. You could be forgiven for thinking
you are in Narnia.
If you prefer hiking, on the second day we’ll explore the Pralongià and Störes High Plateaus
between Corvara, La Villa, and San Cassiano, with stunning panoramic views of the Fanes Group (Conturines and Lavarella),
the Puez Group (Sassongher and the mighty Marmolada Glacier). The green meadows are covered with countless mountain
flowers.
BIKE: KM 50 - MI 31 | MT 1390 - FT 4560
HIKE: KM 13 - MI 8 | MT 570 - FT 1870
Day 03
Sellaranda Loop
This is the loop everyone knows: four legendary climbs in a row — Campolongo,
Pordoi, Sella and Gardena. On the way back, you can add the extra challenge
of the Mur del Giat, 370 meters at 12.4%, made famous by the Giro d’Italia.
If you prefer hiking, you can walk beneath the impressive Sasso di Santa Croce
and visit its historic chapel, now a cozy mountain hut serving traditional dishes.
Nearby, the Armentara meadows stretch between 1600 and 2000 meters on the western
side of the Fanes-Senes-Braies Nature Park.
BIKE: KM 66 - MI 41 | MT 2020 - FT 6620
HIKE: KM 15 - MI 9 | MT 550 - FT 1850
Day 04
Misurina Lake
An unforgettable ride between Val Badia and the Cortina valley, reaching Lake Misurina via the
Tre Croci Pass and enjoying views of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. We stop for a typical South
Tyrolean lunch with local dishes and, if we don’t feel like cycling back, we can simply return
to the hotel by minivan.
If you prefer hiking, you can head to Carbonin/Schluderbach and follow the
forest road with views of Monte Cristallo. As the trees open, alpine meadows appear,
framed by Croda Rossa d’Ampezzo and the Vallandro Hut area, where the old Austro-Hungarian
Prato Piazza fortress stands above 2,000 meters.
BIKE: KM 51 - MI 32 | MT 1390 - FT 4560
HIKE: KM 12 - MI 7.5 | MT 690 - FT 2264
Day 05
Passo Delle Erbe
A lesser-known and still undiscovered route, winding through alpine scenery and small villages
before reaching a 1,993 meter summit. The 12 km climb averages 7%, with sections up to 10%, and
offers breathtaking mountain views before descending back to Brixen. It’s a relaxed ride, perfect
for preparing for tomorrow’s Majestic Marmolada.
If you prefer hiking, you can start from Passo Gardena and head toward Rifugio Jimmy and Passo Cir,
with beautiful views over Val Chedùl and Monte de Sòura. The trail continues to Passo Crespëina and
its stunning alpine lake in the Puez-Odle Nature Park, then reaches Forcella Ciampëi before descending
through the Edelweisstal to the village of Colfosco.
BIKE: KM 60 - MI 37 | MT 1720 - FT 5640
HIKE: KM 9,5 - MI 6 | MT 410 - FT 1345
Day 06
Marmolada Loop
Today we tackle the Queen of the Dolomites: the majestic Marmolada. It’s a challenging but
spectacular route with steep switchbacks, mountain views, and charming villages like Malga
Ciapela along the way. At the top of Passo Fedaia, we’re rewarded with stunning views of the
Marmolada glacier before descending back to Canazei and returning home via Passo Pordoi and
Passo Campolongo.
If you prefer hiking, you can start from Capanna Alpina in San Cassiano and climb up to Col de
Locia, then continue toward the junction leading to Forcella del Lago, the highest point at 2,486
meters. From there, the trail descends to the Lech de Lagació lake and Rifugio Scotoni, ending back
at Capanna Alpina.
BIKE: KM 97 - MI 60 | MT 2870 - FT 9415
HIKE: KM 13,5 - MI 8,3 | MT 830 - FT 2723
Day 07
Passo Giau
On our final riding day, we tackle the legendary Passo Giau. The route climbs through
a dramatic valley of towering peaks, tight switchbacks, steep cliffs, and dense pine
and larch forests. As we ascend, temperatures drop noticeably. After about 9 km of climbing,
we reach the 2236 m summit. The descent is fast and flowing, with long straights and wide
curves leading to Pocol, before returning to the hotel for our final dinner and the King
of the Mountains award.
If you prefer hiking, the trail starts in La Villa and leads through a beautiful forest
toward the top of the Gardenaccia chairlift. You can also choose to take the chairlift to
1,780 m to make the ascent easier. From there, the route continues through coniferous woods
toward Rifugio Gardenaccia, offering scenic views of the snow-covered Marmolada glacier.
The path then climbs steadily across high-alpine meadows until reaching the summit cross,
where a wide panorama of the Fanes Group awaits, including Sasso di Santa Croce, Lavarella,
Conturines, Lagazuoi, and Settsas. You return to the valley along the same route.
BIKE: KM 84 - MI 52 | MT 2600 - FT 8530
HIKE: KM 10 - MI 6 | MT 580 - FT 1902
