This beautifully scenic ride will give you a taste of the major Dolomite climbs.
Starting out from Passo San Pellegrino you take a long downhill towards Moena. Here you turn right and start travelling through the Val di Fassa, a long fake rise through some of the prettiest towns in the valley, including Sorga and Vigo di Fassa until you reach Canazei.
Here we start on a truly legendary climb, the Passo Pordoi, about 10 km long without impossibile inclines, but the unique charm of the theatre for some of the greatest cycling challenges in the Giro d’Italia. You go up to an altitude of 2239 m before re-enterinig the Province of Belluno and taking on the climb that goes to the town of Arabba. From here the route allows you to recuperate some energy.
Down hills and flat stretches among green fields and forests will take you through the towns of Livinallongo, Caprile, Alleghe and Cencenighe. Here were turn right for the last uphill kilometres of the day and after about 6k you arrive in Falcade where you immediately start climbing towards the Passo San Pellegrino, about 8 km circa with serious inclines that get as steep as 18 %.
