Excursión ciclista de un día de Cortina d'Ampezzo a Belluno

Ready for a Dolomite adventure? This cycling route takes you from the iconic mountain town of Cortina d’Ampezzo—often called the “Queen of the Dolomites”—down south to the picturesque city of Belluno. You’ll cover just over 77 km, weaving through jaw-dropping alpine scenery, thick forests, and charming Italian villages.

The ride is mostly paved, with a good chunk on cycleways and quiet roads, so it’s pretty pleasant, but get ready for some serious ups and downs! You’ll climb nearly 2,000 meters, but with even more descent, so it’s quite the downhill thrill into Belluno.

Cortina is known for its winter sports and stunning peaks, and starting here will definitely inspire you for the journey. Belluno, on the other hand, offers a historic old town with lovely piazzas and a chilled-out, local vibe—great for a post-ride gelato.

Total ride time is pretty long, so pack snacks and a windbreaker. This route is a dream for anyone wanting highlights of the Dolomites and a memorable ride from mountain high to valley charm!
