Enjoy a fantastic cycling holiday in the Italian Alps or Dolomites in North Italy. Cycle Classic Tours Bike Hotels Europe Sasi - There are really only 2 main border crossings from Austria into the Dolomites, the western Brenner Pass route from Innsbruck or the eastern San Candido crossing from Lienz. The Stelvio Pass, 2758m, is one of two high mountain checkpoints in the Sun Trip Europe 2021 project, the other will be the climb to Pico Velata (3398m) in southern Spain. Located in northern Italy, very close to Switzerland, the Stelvio is a mythical mountain pass, recognised as one of the most difficult in the Alps. This is one of the day hikes in the Italian Dolomites, you shouldn’t miss. 7. Passo Delle Erbe. Sass de Putia and Passo delle Erbe. Passo delle Erbe is probably the least frequented mountain pass in the Dolomites, a true off the beaten track experience. You can access it from the town of Santa Magdalena in Val di Funes. Lake Braies reflections. 3. Val Gardena. Val Gardena is one of the best-known regions of the Italian Dolomites, and the place to be in summer and in winter. Val Gardena is home to three main towns – Selva, Santa Cristina, and Ortisei, that serve as a base for exploring the surrounding mountains. After dropping down into Switzerland via the stunning descent to Müstair, it’s time for the big one: Stelvio. Undoubtedly one of the most famous climbs in cycling, the 48 epic switchbacks of Stelvio are the ultimate test for cyclists and an unforgettable opener for the 2023 edition of Haute Route Dolomites. The second weekend will be a drive from West of Milan to a small town at the foot of the Dolomites called Frisanco, staying 1 or 2 nights. We then will drive to Merano to do more research and spend two nights. My hope is to then hit the famed Stelvio Pass in the morning on a Monday. The drive looks incredible! The presenters declared the Stelvio Pass in Italy one of the best driving roads in Europe. Countless lists name it as one of the best places in the world to lay down rubber.
