The magnificent four Dolomite passes by bike
The Sella group is one of the main symbols of the Dolomites and of the Ladin valleys. If in winter one skis around it, in summer it can be reached on foot or by mountain bike. Doing the famous winter ski tour by bike is a "must" for mountain bikers.

The four Dolomite passes on your bike
You’ll need a mountain bike, average fitness and great determination: these are three fundamental conditions to take part in the Sellaronda Mountainbike, the best "off-road" tour of the Dolomites. Bikes can be carried on the lifts (cable cars, gondolas and chairlifts), so reaching the four passes - Gardena, Campolongo, Pordoi and Sella - is easy. As in winter by skiing, the tour can be done in both directions, clockwise (orange signs) or counter-clockwise (green signs). One can start from any of the villages around the Sella massive: Canazei, Campitello di Fassa, Selva Gardena, Corvara or Arabba. The slopes, which are rather difficult, are mostly "single trails" which occasionally join the main roads.
The Sellaronda Mountainbike is a full-day guided tour; it can be done only in company of an expert guide and is accessible only to holders of Bikepass Sellaronda (€ 30,00), a pass needed to use the lifts. In the Val di Fassa, Sellaronda Mountainbike guided tours are organized on Thursdays, from 23rd June to 16th September. The price is € 60,00 per person and includes a daily ticket for the lifts. Number of participants: min. 4 - max. 8 people. Tours on other days of the week can be booked on demand.
