Giro d'Italia legends: Passo Giau & Passo Falzarego
The highlight of today’s ride is no doubt the legendary Passo Giau, one of the most stunning climbs in the Dolomites and a huge favorite of the Giro d’Italia. Rising to an elevation of over 2,200m (7,200ft), it’s a challenging climb, but the spectacular views all the way up will keep your mind off the steep grades. From the Giau this beautiful ride continues over the Passo Falzarego then concludes with a 24km (15 miles) descent to your hotel in Alleghe.
Tip: Take a short detour for a coffee stop in chic Cortina d’Ampezzo!
