The tour, which starts in San Cassiano, affords the cyclist unique views of some of the most beautiful peaks in the Dolomites.

Let yourself be surprised by the fascinating and spectacular Dolomites roads.

The route to the Passo delle Erbe offers some of the most stunning scenery in the Dolomites. The green meadows on the northern edge of the Puez-Odle Nature Park and the towering Dolomite peaks accompany cyclists along this tour, which may not be among the most famous in the area, but is certainly one of the most impressive.

Starting from Alta Badia, the route follows relatively low-traffic roads with spectacular panoramic views and occasional technical challenges. On the way to the Passo delle Erbe, cyclists will encounter several sharp hairpin turns and steep climbs, with gradients reaching up to 16%.

The tour through the Val Badia valley runs from north to south and can be started in one of the villages in Alta Badia. Descending the state road 244 your reach Piculin/Piccolino where a climb leads towards San Martin/San Martino and the district of Mirí.

The road to Mirí is a lesser-known secondary road, with relatively little traffic and therefore particularly pleasant to ride. But the climb is not without its difficulties! You need to be in good shape.

Passing the Ciastel de Tor, the castle that houses the "Museum Ladin" we go for a short detour to the quiet mountain village of Longiarù. The return to the starting point follows the same path.

The bike trail goes trough the wine villages Eppan, Kaltern, Tramin and Kurtatsch up to the country frontier at Salurn on traffic-calmed streets. The tour is appropriate for all kinds of bycicles, but is the most fun to ride on e-bikes or racing bikes.

The route starts at Eppan and leads on the cycle path and the lake loop road to the Kalterer lake and onwards to Tramin. Towards the village you’ll find a rise. Take it and follow the Weinstraße until you reach Margreid and Kurtinig. In all of those villages you’ll find plenty of possibilities to stop for a bite to eat.

Arriving at Salurn, change the downhill side and follow the hillslope until you come to Laag. From there you can take the cycle path along the Etsch in a northward direction up until the spot where the rivers Etsch and Eisack are meeting. There you turn left and follow the old railway track of the Überetscher railway until the initial point in Eppan.

The challenging tour to the Staller Sattel ass is one of the classic routes for South Tyrolean cycling enthusiasts. A gravel track leads you from Niederrasen along the river to Antholz Niedertal. The route continues through the village of Antholz Mittertal and along the paved main road to the beautiful Lake Antholz. From there, the final ascent to the 2,052 m high Staller Sattel alpine pass begins, which boasts numerous hairpin bends and breathtaking viewpoints (Important! Temporary one-way traffic regulation with traffic light: from South Tyrol to Austria every hour from the 30th to the 45th minute; from Austria to South Tyrol every hour from the full hour to the 15th minute).

The Furcia Pass Tour is an interesting alternative way of exploring South Tyrol by heading north from Alta Badia.

This stretch has formed part of the famous Giro d'Italia several times and is perfect to train on.

Route: From Pederoa head north on the main road 244 down to Piccolino and Longega. Here you turn off to the right and ride gently uphill on the main road as far as San Vigilio and then on a flat road to Marebbe. Just before the centre of Marebbe head for the Furcia Pass, first climbing gently and then with gradients of 10 % or even 15 %. The road to the Furcia Pass is narrow and has some sharp bends. When you reach the pass (1,758 m), the road winds down again to Valdaora di Sotto. Then you continue gently up and down around the Plan de Corones until you come to Riscone and San Stefano. From here, the gradient is slight to moderate as far as Pliscia. You then head down to Longega, from where you return to Pederoa on the 244 road.

A classic for the cyclists. The four-pass tour Sellaronda, is certainly one of the absolute highlights in the life of a cyclist. Among the racing bike tours, the route is considered of medium difficulty with a length of 58 km and almost 1,800 meters of elevation gain. Twiche a year, usually in June and September, the tour around the Sella Group belongs entirely to the cyclists.

The Fedaia pass is another colossus when it comes to epic cycling. A long, arduous ascent, particularly in the last kilometres, with inclines of 12% on very long stretches. You are going to need to be fit to take it on!

Starting from Val Gardena, take the state road n. 242 which leads to Chiusa and continues up to Bressanone on the cycle path that runs alongside the SS12. Once in Bressanone take the ascent through S. Andrea up to Passo delle Erbe. At the top you cycle down towards San Martino in Badia to reach Corvara. Turning right you start the ascent to the Gardena Pass passing through Colfosco. After passing the Gardena Pass a pleasant descent leads to Selva.

The medium route of the Maratona dles Dolomites is 106 km long with a total elevation gain of 3,130 meters. Cyclists tackle legendary climbs like Passo Campolongo (1875 m), Passo Pordoi (2239 m), Passo Sella (2244 m), Passo Gardena (2121 m), Passo Valparola (2200 m), and the steep Mür dl Giat (1472 m). Each climb offers breathtaking views and challenging gradients.

The Maratona route of the Maratona dles Dolomites is 138 km long with a total elevation gain of 4,230 meters. Cyclists tackle iconic climbs like Passo Campolongo (1,875 m), Passo Pordoi (2,239 m), Passo Sella (2,244 m), Passo Gardena (2,121 m), and the challenging Passo Giau (2,236 m) with slopes reaching up to 15%. After Passo Valparola (2,200 m), riders face the steep Mür dl Giat (1,472 m), a short but tough stretch that tests even experienced cyclists.

The Puster Valley Cycle Path from Innichen to Bruneck offers an idyllic ride through picturesque landscapes, passing meadows, forests, and lakes. The path runs away from traffic, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in nature and find moments of tranquility.

The Dolomites Bike Day Route is a panoramic circuit of about 50 km that takes the cyclists on some of the epic stages of the "Giro d'Italia" and the Maratona dles Dolomites roadbike marathon. You will cyclie on legendary mountain passes in the heart of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage.

There are several routes that extend between South Tyrol and Veneto and that every cyclist can choose independently depending on ability and condition.

Once a year, usually in mid-June, the Campolongo, Falzarego and Valparola passes are closed to motorized traffic from 9 am to 3 pm. On this special day the roads connecting the Ladin valleys Val Badia, Livinallongo and Ampezzo are reserved exclusively for cyclists.

The Giau pass is the great challenge for all those who undertake the marathon Maratona dles Dolomites, 10 km with long sections at 10.5% slope with the last kilometre at 10.2% slope. A climb that will remain among the cyclists’ memories.

The reminiscence of the Giro d'Italia. Walk in the footsteps of the racing bike stars and Giro legends and cover 769 m of altitude. The (sports) history-laden adventure tour does not yet take you to the Stallersattel, but "only" to the Antholz Lake. That should be enough to warm you up. The ride along the valley cycle path through Olang and the Anthiolz Valley offers a great first overview - but the last climb to the biathlon centre gives you a real Giro feeling. Don't forget your pink jersey!
