Passo Gardena
The Sellaronda is known as the most beautiful
cycling route in the world.
I wouldn’t dispute that claim. The Sellaronda is
nothing less than a cycling paradise.
The name comes from the world-famous ski run
of the same name.
The Sellaronda makes up most of the short
course of the Maratona dles Dolomites cycling
sportive and around 55kms of the entire course,
which includes the Passo Giau.
Cycling events usually run anti-clockwise, often
using the small town of Corvara as the starting
point on the loop.
First up is the Passo Gardena.
