The Sellaronda Cycle Route offers a challenging racebike experience through the heart of the Dolomites. This difficult loop covers 32.0 miles (51.5 km) and demands a significant 5486 feet (1672 metres) of elevation gain, typically taking around 4 hours and 5 minutes to complete. As you ride, you will encounter rugged rock faces and lush mountain meadows, with panoramic views of peaks like Sassolungo and the Marmolada glacier. The route crosses four major passes, including Pordoi Pass and Gardena Pass, showcasing dramatic geological formations throughout your journey.
You can begin your Sellaronda adventure from various towns, such as Corvara, and choose to cycle the route in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. Consider the Sellaronda Bike Day, a special biannual event when the roads are closed to motorized traffic. This offers a unique opportunity for a peaceful cycling experience without vehicle interference.
This ring tour is considered a classic ride for cyclists in the Dolomites, known for its continuous ascent and descent through the mountainous terrain. It provides an immersive way to experience the region's unique geology and alpine environment. The route's design, traversing multiple passes, ensures a varied and engaging ride for those seeking a true mountain challenge.
