CYCLING THROUGH UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITES
A wonderful playground for bike enthusiasts, offering a wide range of trails that cater to both the most experienced riders with very challenging routes and less seasoned bikers.
Ride freely along the winding Dolomite roads, following in the footsteps of the great Giro d’Italia champions as you climb some of the most iconic mountain passes in the Alps.
Or choose scenic MTB trails and embrace the challenge of terrain that demands both strength and skill — uphill and downhill — even better when guided by the experienced Cortina Alpine Guides.
You can also test yourself on the routes of the new Cortina Bike Park Dolomiti, which for the first time connects the two sides of the Tofana area, offering a spectacular mountain biking, downhill, and gravity experience.
For those who love cycling but prefer to avoid the most physically demanding sections, e-bikes offer the perfect solution. They make it easier to reach enchanting locations that might otherwise be inaccessible, allowing you to discover traditional alpine huts serving authentic local flavors and mountain huts known for their warm hospitality, attention to detail, and breathtaking views of the UNESCO-listed Dolomites.
In Cortina d’Ampezzo, the world of biking takes on unique experiences, such as the opportunity to combine climbing and biking with the guidance of the Cortina Alpine Guides. Or enjoying the pleasure of traveling at high altitudes, even over several days, from one hut to another, with or without lift facilities, by MTB or e-bike.
