Cycling day trip from Cortina d'Ampezzo to Belluno

Get ready for an exhilarating ride from Cortina d'Ampezzo to Belluno, a journey that beautifully blends the thrill of cycling with breathtaking landscapes. Starting in Cortina, often called the "Queen of the Dolomites," you'll launch yourself into a part of Italy famed for its winter sports and stunning alpine views.

The route covers just over 77 kilometers and promises quite the adventure. You'll climb around 1988 meters in elevation, but don’t worry—what goes up must come down, and boy, does it come down! With a descent of nearly 2798 meters, brace yourself for some thrilling downhill sections.

About 79% of the journey is on smooth asphalt, while the rest are sprinkled with gravel and a smidge of missing surfaces. Most of your ride will glide through dedicated cycleways and tranquil roads, ensuring a peaceful journey punctuated by the occasional busy road burst.

Pedal away from the Dolomites’ embrace toward Belluno, a charming town nestled by the Piave River. It’s the perfect spot to rest, soak in the scenery, and taste some local Italian countryside delights. Whether you're in it for the ride or the views, this journey from mountain to town doesn’t disappoint. Enjoy the ride!
