Dolomites Bike Day

The Dolomite Passes Just for Bikes

The Dolomites Bike Day is one of the most beloved events for cycling enthusiasts in the Alps. For an entire day, the Falzarego, Valparola, and Campolongo passes — the latter in the territory of Livinallongo del Col di Lana, in the province of Belluno — are closed to motorized traffic and accessible exclusively by bicycle. The result is a loop of approximately 51 kilometers with a 1290-meter elevation gain, to be tackled at your own pace immersed in the scenery of the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

An Event for Everyone

The event is free and non-competitive: no registration or mandatory starting point is required. You can start from one of the locations on the loop — including Arabba, Pieve di Livinallongo, Cernadoi, Corvara, San Cassiano, and La Villa — and cycle in either direction. The event is open to cyclists of all levels and also to e-bikes, with photo points along the route and organization focused on sustainability (carbon-free event).

Cycling on the Champions' Roads

The charm of the Dolomites Bike Day also lies in retracing, without cars, the roads made legendary by the Giro d'Italia and the Maratona dles Dolomites. Passes that are normally tackled amidst summer tourist traffic become, for one day, a large open-air cycling park, with views of Marmolada, Sella, and Sassongher.
