Auronzo di Cadore Loop Road Bike Ride
Our tours offering this ride:
Ridden counter clockwise, this one or two pass loop starts with a gradual power descent that provides a good warm-up before any significant climbs.
An optional jaunt along the old road to Santo Stefano di Cadore adds about 18 miles and Passo del Zovo (1476m), before a fast, moderately technical descent into Auronzo.
From Auronzo, it's a scenic climb–steep at times–to passo Tre Corci (1805m), followed by a nice descent to Cortina.
