Cycling day trip from Ponte di Legno to Carisolo

Get ready for an unforgettable ride from the alpine town of Ponte di Legno to charming Carisolo—a real adventure through the heart of the Italian Alps! Your journey covers around 75km and packs in over 2700 meters of ascent, so bring your climbing legs (and maybe a gel or two).

Starting in Ponte di Legno, famous for its proximity to iconic mountain passes like Passo Gavia and Passo Tonale, you’ll immediately feel the crisp mountain air and classic alpine vibe. The route mixes it up with both paved and unpaved surfaces—expect gravel sections and quiet mountain roads with breathtaking views. Most of the ride is nicely away from traffic, so you’ll be able to soak in the forests, waterfalls, and sweeping valleys.

The final leg brings you into Carisolo, nestled at the entrance to Val Genova, famous for its natural parks and spectacular cascades. Whether you're fueled by espresso or mountain spirit, this route is every bit worth the effort. Grab a bite, snap a photo, and relish a classic Dolomite day on two wheels!
