Dolomite Panorama

On the Pustertalradweg we roll in slightly ascending and undulating until Bruneck, then it becomes a little more hilly until Toblach. Here we turn south into the Höhlensteintal valley. Our first steeper climb awaits us on the ascent to Lake Misurina. Wonderful views of the Three Peaks and a beautiful mountain world await us. It is not far to the highest point of today's tour, the Passo Tre Croci is about to be climbed. Here we have a frontal view of the Tofanen. A speedy descent brings us to Cortina.

Leisurely steep we drive up to the Passo Falzarego, for which we have to sweat, at the next pass I'm not so sure whether it really challenges us. A good kilometer and about 90 meters in altitude further, pass number 3 of today, the Passo di Valparola, is waiting for us. Then it's a moderate downhill to La Villa, with the Pralongia and the Sella peaks on the left and the Heiligkreuzkofel on the right. From La Villa the route goes slightly uphill again to Covara and continues over the Passo Campolongo to Arabba. If you haven't seen enough, you can take the cable car in Arabba up to Porta Vescovo for the Marmolada view and, if necessary, a hike along the Bindelweg.

Directly from the hotel we drive today to the ascent to Passo Pordoi. Here we see centrally on the steep Sella rock faces. A very depressing monument to the fallen of the mountain war here 100 years ago should also be seen. The descent with its many serpentines to Canazei can be very speedy. Through the Fassa Valley we ride mostly on the bike path along the river. Then it goes into the next climb over the Karerpass. On the right we can already see the Catinaccio and with every meter of altitude we see more of the Latemar. As an encore today we get the Niger Pass, which we roll over without many meters of altitude in a few kilometers. At the foot of the Catinaccio it then goes steeper downhill to Tiers and on to Völs am Schlern.

At the foot of the Sciliar we drive to Siusi and further to Castelrotto. Over the Panider Sattel we continue to Ortisei. Here we drive through the pedestrian zone and do some sightseeing in this second fashionable sports town on this tour. Via Lajen and a beautiful winding road we continue to Gufidaun and down into the Eisack valley. Here we cycle along the cycle path to Bressanone and make sure to take a break at the beautiful cathedral square. We follow the Eisack cycle path north and shortly before Franzensfeste we join the Pustertal cycle path, which we then follow to Mühlbach.
