Summer in Alta Badia
…by bike!

The name of the Dolomites sounds like music in the cyclists' ears, evoking such competitions as the Marathon of the Dolomites (Maratona dles Dolomites), the Giro d'Italia with its famous queen-stage in the Dolomites and the Sellaronda Bike Hero, for those who prefer mountain biking. With trails that inevitably pass through Alta Badia. No wonder, it's one of the favourite destinations for those who are fond of pedalling.

Actually, every paved road makes part of different road bike trails, that vary from easy ones to those that turn to be a real challenge even for the most trained cyclists. A must for everyone – the Four Passes Tour, a series of ups and downs across the passes of the Dolomites that connect Alta Badia to Val Gardena, Val di Fassa and the Valley of Livinallongo (Fodom), the itinerary that is closed for traffic and entirely reserved for cyclists during the Sellaronda Bike Days. To explore the other trails of particular cycling charm, take advantage of the guided bike tours that are organized weekly at the tourist board of La Villa.

If Alta Badia is a magnet for road cycling fans, then what to say about mountain bikers?! The Dolomites offer infinite trails that cross forests and meadows, climb up plateaus and rush down in the face of the most imposing peaks. To be explored on your own or in the company of experienced MTB guides of Alta Badia. To save time and effort, take advantage of the summer mountain lifts or try an e-bike. And those who are looking for even stronger emotions, are welcome to the downhill tracks of the Gardenaccia freeride area.
