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 for training 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.

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 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" of the same name we go for a short detour to the quiet mountain village of Longiarù. The return to the starting point follows the same path.
