Cycling day trip from Cortina d'Ampezzo to Livinallongo del Col di Lana

Get ready for an epic Dolomite ride! Starting in the iconic Cortina d'Ampezzo—famous for its dramatic peaks and as a host city for the Winter Olympics—you’ll wind your way 70 km over to Livinallongo del Col di Lana. This is no casual spin: expect big mountain vibes, with over 3,300 meters of climbing and stunning views at almost every turn.

The route sticks mostly to paved surfaces (about 57%), with the rest a patchwork of gravel and tracks—so a sturdy road or gravel bike will do the trick. You’ll cruise quiet roads and cycleways for the most part, dipping briefly onto busier stretches and scenic tracks through alpine meadows and forests.

Your destination, Livinallongo del Col di Lana, nestles below the famed Col di Lana mountain—known for its WWI history and jaw-dropping panoramas. Make sure to bring snacks, your sense of adventure, and plenty of memory on your camera, because the riding here is as legendary as the scenery!
