Valparola Road Bike
An easy but satisfying tour between the valleys of Fodom and Val Badia. After a nice warm up through Fodom, climb up the Falzarego Pass with its progressive incline and long straights and get to the footstep of Lagazuoi. Face the last more challenging kilometer to reach the Valparola Pass before descending the long way to Val Badia and then one more uphill to Campolongo Pass enjoying the swoop back to Arabba.
The climbs are never too challenging, but you will feel the fatigue.
Marmolada Road
A unique tour through the Dolomites that you shouldn't miss, with a variety of landscape taking you amongst water, ice and snow.
From the Gola de Serrai di Sottoguda get to Caprile and climb the most difficult part of the tour, a difference in elevation of 1000m in 14km, with a demanding climb that in some parts are more than 15%.
After reaching the Fedaia Pass, get to Canazei and with the Marmolada still in sight, climb the long and gentle road to Pordoi Pass before launching yourself into the last descent.
Sellaronda Road
A tour for roadbike lovers that don't want to miss out on the beauty of the mountains. Around the Sella Massif, is a mandatory tour for all biking enthusiasts.
From Arabba the tour can be taken both clockwise and anticlockwise. An awesome idea is to do both in different periods of the year.
Reach all four of the mountain passes around the Sella and the four ladin valleys: Pordoi, Campolongo, Sella and Gardena.
Experience the breathtaking ascent to Sella Pass, along the footstep of the Sass Pordoi wall where the road seams to dash into Piz Ciavazes.
Enjoy the view of Sassolungo that emerges like an iceberg slowly during your ascent. All the rest is just as breathtaking and stunning.
Tre Cime di Lavaredo Road
A wonderful but difficult tour that suits those who enjoy a good climb.
Starting from Arabba head to Falzarego with an easy climb that is perfect as a warm up. Descend to Cortina D'Ampezzo and reach the first goal: Tre Croci Pass. It's a climb with some quite challenging parts, but once you reach Misurina lake, the road gets really difficult with an average steepness of 11%. The road is private, but free for bikes and it can reach a steepness of 18%. Once you reach the top, the view of the Tre Croci makes a superb and challenging bike climb into an even more unforgettable day. After a rest at the rifugio there's one more climb before the return to Arabba.
