Cycling Falzarego Pass

Описание: Cycling the Campolongo & Falzarego Passes | Dolomites Road Ride | Italy’s Most Scenic Climbs 🇮🇹🚴‍♂️

Join me on a classic Dolomites road ride starting and ending in Corvara, as I tackle two legendary climbs: the Campolongo Pass and the stunning Passo di Falzarego. This 32-mile loop with over 5,500ft of elevation gain winds through some of the most scenic and historic routes in the Italian Alps.

After climbing out of Corvara via the Campolongo Pass, we drop into Arabba, a cyclist’s hotspot and junction for multiple major passes. From there, it’s onto the peaceful and less-traveled Falzarego Pass – a hidden gem of the Dolomites, known for its sweeping balcony roads, epic alpine views, and incredible wartime history.

Along the way:

We pass Castello di Andraz, a medieval fort once ruled by the church, with its own prison for boys and girls.

I share a sobering moment reflecting on the risks of high mountain adventures after witnessing a tragic accident on the road.

There's also a look at the impressive Valparola junction, the engineering of ancient switchbacks, and a brief chat about why sunblock for your lips is essential at altitude 😅

Whether you're planning a cycling trip to the Dolomites or just love watching high mountain rides, this loop offers the perfect mix of challenge, scenery, and cultural heritage.
