Overview
The Dolomites are a true icon of cycling — dramatic, rugged, and breathtaking at every turn. Whether you’re climbing legendary passes like Passo Sella, Giau, or Gardena by road bike, or exploring alpine forest trails and high-mountain gravel, this UNESCO World Heritage site delivers unforgettable riding.
Steep gradients, tight switchbacks, and panoramic ridgelines make it a dream for climbers and experienced riders looking for a challenge. The Dolomites are less about cruising and more about the reward: peaceful summits, crisp air, and views that stretch across jagged peaks and deep valleys. Gravel riders will find hidden trails and remote tracks tucked between ski stations and silent meadows.
This is where the riding gets wild, and the scenery does all the talking.
