    Roadbook

    The tour starts in Auer/Ora and climbs through the peaceful Fiemme Valley to the scenic San-Lugano-Pass/Passo di San Lugano. Through Cavalese, the route continues to Canazei, surrounded by towering peaks. From there, the classic route crosses the Pordoijoch/Passo Pordoi, through Arabba, Campolongopass/Passo Campolongo, Corvara, and over the Grödner Joch/Passo Gardena to St. Ulrich/Ortisei. The shorter option leads over the Sellajoch/Passo Sella straight to Wolkenstein/Selva and St. Ulrich/Ortisei. Both return to Auer/Ora via Kastelruth/Castelrotto, Seis/Siusi and Völs/Fiè – a fitting finale to this unforgettable ride.
