Of all the various bicycle routes in the province of Belluno, the Long Dolomite Path is the best known. It is an easy and spectacular bicycle touring route from Cortina to Calalzo di Cadore. Along this trail, also perfect for families, you will be surrounded by the wonderful scenery of the Dolomites including the famous Antelao, Pelmo, Cristallo, Five Towers, Tofane, Monte Piana, and Three Peaks of Lavaredo.
“It is one of the most spectacular bicycle routes in Italy.” “Highly recommended route.” “One-of-a-kind experience.”
These are just some of the remarks made by tourists. You will pedal along what was once the route of the railway line, see natural beauty spots and quaint mountain villages. You will pass over bridges, through tunnels, forests, old train stations in some cases now converted into refreshment places where you can try some good local dishes. The bike path is mostly on paved road with stretches of good dirt road. The route is slightly downhill, making it accessible to everyone, even younger children, those out of practise or new learners. If you wish, you can also choose to go in the opposite direction, perhaps by electric bike to effortlessly enjoy this evocative and fun experience on a bicycle.
