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.

Starting from Alta Badia you cycle through Corvara and up to the Campolongo pass where you ride down to Arabba and Livinallongo. Here you climb the Falzarego pass and the Valparola pass - one of the most fascinating sceneries in the Alps - from where you reach again Alta Badia by cycling downwards to San Cassiano. From San Cassiano you ride to the starting point in Alta Badia.

Starting points: San Cassiano, La Villa or Corvara.
The villages are connected via the SS244 (Val Badia) and the SP37 road to San Cassiano.Descents from the passes are long and fast: always keep your speed under control, especially on more exposed sections. The road is shared with other cyclists and vehicles, so stay alert in busier areas.
