A fantastic challenge in the World Heritage Listed Dolomites. These breathtaking mountains are surely the most beautiful in the world, and the riding is nothing short of spectacular. Mountain passes of Giro d'Italia legend, delicious food to fuel your time in the saddle and incomparable thrills as you crest the summit and descend the other side.

We begin in the picturesque town of Bolzano, heading straight into the Dolomites and our first stop is the lovely little alpine village of Canazei. From there we explore these glorious, ancient coral masterpieces all the way to Cortina.

PuntoTours full support all the way. All meals, 4 star accommodation, professional guides on-road and vehicular support with all the trimmings is yours for the tour. Your only tasks? To ride and have the time of your life!

FULL ITINERARY

DAY ONE MON 1 SEP | ARRIVAL

Make your way to the charming town of Bolzano. Settle into our lovely hotel, and meet the guides. They will help you unpack your bike, or make sure the fit is perfect if you have hired one of our nimble Cipollini's. Welcome Dinner and Tour Briefing before the adventure begins tomorrow.

DAY TWO TUE 2 SEP | BOLZANO TO CANAZEI

Numerous mountains are picturesque, but the Dolomites are something else again. Our gateway to this World Heritage majesty is the beautiful climb to the astonishingly blue, Lago di Carezza.
DISTANCE | 59KM | 37M
ELEVATION | 2100M | 6890FT

DAY THREE WED 3 SEP | CANAZEI LOOP TO FEDAIA

This is a spectacular ride that winds around the Marmolada mountain, the highest in the Dolomites with the glacier visible during the ride. Two big, well-known passes, the San Pellegrino and Passo Fedaia. We ride through the impressive and narrow Sottaguda gorge as well as along past the picturesque Lago di Fedaia, of 'Italian Job' fame.
DISTANCE | 85KM | 53MI
ELEVATION | 1790M | 5850FT

DAY FOUR THU 4 SEP | CANAZEI SELLA LOOP

We trace the route of the short course Maratona dles Dolomiti. Four amazingly different passes that showcase the Sella massif. The Sella massif circuit is also a popular challenge for alpine skiers.
DISTANCE | 65KM | 40MI
ELEVATION | 1760M | 5750FT

DAY FIVE FRI 5 SEP | CANAZEI TO CORTINA

Great day in the saddle. We do the reverse of yesterday, up the Passo Pordoi and Campolongo, before heading down through Corvara. Then new territory up the Valparola pass and racing down the Falzarego into Cortina. More or less a rest day!
DISTANCE | 70KM | 43MI
ELEVATION | 1650M | 5400FT

DAY SIX SAT 6 SEP | CORTINA LOOP TO TRE CIME

Brilliant ride to the tranquil Lago di Misurina, and then Tre Cime di Lavaredo! The Giro finished a stage up here last year. This is arguably the toughest seven kilometres, and most spectacular panorama of the Dolomites.
DISTANCE | 55KM | 34MI
ELEVATION | 1400M | 4600FT

DAY SEVEN SUN 7 SEP | CORTINA LOOP

This is the prequel before the final day's challenge. We climb the Passo Giau from Cortina, dip down into the green, Fodom valley and ascend the Falzarego before the great descent you are now familiar with, back into Cortina.
DISTANCE | 65KM | 40MI
ELEVATION | 1900M | 6200FT

DAY EIGHT MON 8 SEP | CORTINA TO PASSO GIAU

Finale day! We ride the business end of the Maratona dles Dolomiti - Falzarego/Valparola, Campolongo and Passo Giau from the classic, tougher side. If you're really hankering to also emulate the 14th Stage of the 2018 Giro, you can always add in the Muro del Gatto in La Villa, 360M of hell. Once you summit the Giau, it's all downhill into Cortina for celebrations!
DISTANCE | 95KM | 59MI
ELEVATION | 2700M | 8850FT

DAY NINE TUE 9 SEP | DEPARTURE

Morning group transfer to Venice of about two hours. Plan onward travel from early afternoon.

Time to say farewell, until next time.
Ride safe Puntos.
