The bike tour to the Giau Pass begins in San Vigilio and first leads via Welschellen and San Martino in Badia. The route is approximately 130 kilometers long and offers a mix of paved roads and gravel paths. A highlight is the breathtaking view of the Dolomites, especially when passing through Pescosta. In Arabba, you can enjoy the impressive mountain scenery before continuing towards Cortina d'Ampezzo. A recommended place to stop for a break is the Fodara Vedla mountain hut, where you can enjoy regional specialties in a cozy atmosphere.
From San Vigilio, follow the main road to Corvara, where the zigzags begin for Passo Campolongo. Cross the pass, follow the road downhill for Arabba and then Selva di Cadore. Here is where the very hard ascent of about 900m of difference in height begins, towards Passo Giau, one of the most breathtaking passes in the Dolomites. Continue downhill to Pocol, a small village before Cortina where, on the left, you take the last ascent to Passo Falzarego. Lastly pass through Passo Valparola, San Cassiano, La Villa and Longega, and back to San Vigilio.
