Riding the beauty of the Pale Mountains
7 days
Destination not to be missed by authentic bike lovers, Dolomites concentrate legendary climbs, delightful landscapes, history of cycling, alpinism and mountains in general. Beautiful roads design switchback at the foot of vertical rock walls, and then plunge into dense woods, where all the greatest champions wrote memorable pages of sport: Coppi on Pordoi, Bartali on Rolle, Pantani on Fedaia.
The tour proposes the classical climbs of the Giro d’Italia side by side with less known roads, having the same, inestimable value, in the heart of the Pale Mountains, UNESCO World Heritage since 2009.
The proposed itinerary, with the climbs and difficulties shown here, is, like all DR cycling Tours proposals, fully customizable, as a custom suit, on the needs, tastes, preparation of each client, with maximum flexibility– both by planning the trip, and on the field– thanks to the management in small groups with the assistance of qualified guides and the support of equipped vehicles.

Our full-immersion in the Dolomites will start in Valsugana, climbing the demanding Passo Manghen.
Once descended in Fiemme Valley, the Alpe di Pampeago – battlefield in the Giro 1998 for Marco Pantani and Pavel Tonkov – will lead us towards the wonderful Carezza lake, Passo Costalunga and Canazei.
Passo Fedaia, lying at the foot of Marmolada – the highest mountain of the region – and Passo Giau will be the key to the doors of Cortina, the pearl of the Dolomiti d’Ampezzo.
Once the Tre Cime di Lavaredo are overcomed, a climb as harsh as full of history (ask Eddy Merckx what he thinks about!) we’ll reach the Braies lake, and will be the turn of the classic “Sellaronda”, the tour of the four passes Campolongo, Pordoi, Sella, Gardena, in little more than 50 km around the most magnificent dolomitic group.
We couldn’t finish our ride without climbing Passo Valparola – where the most incredible battles during World War I were fought – and the Passo Rolle, where it all began: it was 1937, the Giro d’Italia discovered the Dolomites and Gino Bartali took the victory.
