Road bike

The route to the Passo delle Erbe offers some of the most stunning scenery in the Dolomites. The green meadows on the northern edge of the Puez-Odle Nature Park and the towering Dolomite peaks accompany cyclists along this tour, which may not be among the most famous in the area, but is certainly one of the most impressive.

Starting from Alta Badia, the route follows relatively low-traffic roads with spectacular panoramic views and occasional technical challenges. On the way to the Passo delle Erbe, cyclists will encounter several sharp hairpin turns and steep climbs, with gradients reaching up to 16%.

Directions

From Badia you ride northwards on the main road no. 244. A few wide bends take you to La Val and then you continue downhill to just outside Piccolino, where the road bears left to San Martino in Badia. From San Martino you ride uphill to Antermoia and the Passo delle Erbe pass.

The effort of the climb is compensated for by the stunning panoramic view: woodland and meadows and the amazing backdrop of the Dolomites accompany cyclists all the way on this tour. En route from Stan Martino in Badia there are gradients of up to 16 % to overcome.
