Upon individual arrival at the hotel in Hochpustertal, guests can utilize the nearby free, unguarded public car park.

DAY 2: ALTA PUSTERIA — PRATO — CORTINA D’AMPEZZO

The more challenging route initially guides participants through the Braies Valley, offering an optional detour to the picturesque Lago di Braies Lake. Continuing to the elevated Prato Piazza plateau, with the imposing Dürrenstein and Hohe Gaisl peaks as a backdrop, the path descends through the Höhlenstein Valley along the historic military road. It then follows the old railway line “Ferrovia delle Dolomiti” over the Cimabanche Pass to the renowned Cortina d’Ampezzo. The alternative, less demanding path leads directly along the railway track through the Höhlenstein Valley to Cortina d’Ampezzo. (Approximately 45 – 55 km, approximately 1,000 Hm or approximately 30-35 km; approximately 350 Hm)

DAY 3: CORTINA D’AMPEZZO — BELLUNO

For the more challenging option, cyclists first traverse the “Lunga Via delle Dolomiti” cycle path along the former railway line, offering splendid views of the Sorapis mountain range and the Cinque Torri rock formation. Following a steep ascent to Zoppè di Cadore, the highest municipality in Belluno, the route continues to Longarone. En route, cyclists pass by Ponte nelle Alpi before reaching the day’s destination, Belluno. The easier route follows the cycle path to Pieve di Cadore, Longarone, and onward to Belluno. (Approximately 80 km, approximately 970 Hm or approximately 75 km, approximately 150 Hm)

DAY 4: BELLUNO — PIEVE DI SOLIGO — SUSEGANA

The more demanding itinerary commences with an ascent to the renowned high plateau Nevegal. Cyclists trace the route of the Giro d’Italia, which ascended from Belluno to Nevegal in 2011, offering panoramic views of Santa Croce and Morto Lake. Continuing through the Prosecco Region, cyclists pass by the 17th-century Molinetta della Croda water mill before reaching the stage destination of Pieve di Soligo/Susegana, culminating the day with a glass of local wine. The easier path meanders through the valley, traversing hilly terrain past Lago di Santa Croce and through the Prosecco area to the day’s endpoint.
