Road Bike - Civetta Tour

Start
Alleghe 1000 m
Arrival
Alleghe 1000 m

Don’t miss the ride around the majestic peaks of the Pelmo and Civetta across the sunny green fields of the Val Fiorentina and Val di Zoldo. It starts off from Alleghe, at the base of the Civetta. The first part is quite easy, with a downhill all the way to Cencenighe and down along the Cordevole valley to Agordo. After passing through the center of Agordo we turn left and face the first uphill challenge of the day, the Duran Pass (1605 m). Its very name offers a taste of the challenges it offers, yet the scenery is spectacular.  Once on top we can see the Moiazza before diving into a fast, technical downhill that takes us to the village of Dont. We turn left and start climbing again towards the Val di Zoldo aiming towards the Passo Staulanza (1773 m). While we’re riding we can admire the Civetta in its entire splendor to our left, while on the right we can see the Pelmo, also called “The Lord’s Throne” because of its distinctive chair shape. At the top of the Staulanza the hard part is over, and we ride down to Selva di Cadore, turn left and continue going down all the way to Caprile. From here we coast along the banks of the lake until we get back to Alleghe, where we can admire a front and centre view of the walls of the Civetta.
