Clockwise around the Sella Ronda – the ski classic on your mountain bike
You can get to Selva di Val Gardena quite easily by car or with public transport, then it’s just a matter of hopping on your mountain bike and taking off into the Dolomites! Ride to the entrance of the Vallunga, where the cable car will take you up to the Dantercëpies mountain station. On the gravel path, ride towards Passo Gardena, from where you can take an exciting descent towards Colfosco on a 300m high single track. When you reach Corvara, the second cable car will take you to the Col Alto. After another quick descent, a further chair lift will take you to the Bioch hut. The trail continues around the Sella mountain range, over meadows and trails. While enjoying this thrilling ride, try not to forget to enjoy the beautiful views of the Dolomites!
The second part of the Sella Ronda leads across a beautiful Alpine ridgeway to the Campolongo pass, from where you begin your dream descent on a narrow path towards Arabba. Another cable car will take you back up to the Portavescovo foothill ridge, from where you cycle back down towards Passo Pordoi – mountain biking in the Dolomites certainly does boast a beautiful view of the Sella plateau! After concentrating on another 850m descent, the route takes you at a leisurely pace over meadows to Campitello di Fassa.
The third and last part of the Sella Ronda is just as exciting! A cable car will take you to an altitude of 1,000m ready for another quick descent. The path leads through the stone city (the peaks of giant rocks, giving the appearance of a town with tall buildings), past the Sassolungo and then back to Selva.
If you attempt this mountain bike tour in the Dolomites, be aware that good physical conditioning and nice weather are requirements. You’ll be rewarded with magnificent mountain views which will stay with you for a long time to come.
