Experience the Dolomites and their sense of freedom by bike

The Dolomites Bike Day is a closed-road event. You'll be free to enjoy the scenery and our historic mountain roads without worrying about cars, motorbikes and traffic.

Save the date

The Campolongo, the Falzarego, and the Valparola passes will stay closed to traffic from 8:30am until 2:30 pm. The roads that connect the valleys of Alta Badia, Livinallongo and Ampezzo will be reserved for cyclists. What else could you ask for?

One course, plenty of emotions

These are the same roads where the Maratona Dles Dolomites -- one of the world's largest granfondos for road bikes -- takes place. There is no better place for you to cycle and feel the beauty of nature around you.

The valleys of the Bike Day

You can choose the starting point of the day in total freedom, and you don't even have to get to a start line. Just jump into the Bike Day loop and enjoy cycling in a UNESCO World Heritage Site. That doesn't happen every day.

The three passesBike Day

"Da Ciaulonch a Fauzare ruon con puoch plu de n vare", as the Ladins say. From Campolongo pass to Falzarego pass it only takes little more than one step.

If you ride down from the Campolongo Pass, you reach the village of Arabba. Its inhabitants are also known in the area as "i glacei da Rèba" or "the frozen ones" because the place is mostly in the shade.

The Dolomites Bike Day is getting closer every day. The event is free, and you don't even need to subscribe. Just show up on the day!

#DBD
Traffic-free roads. What else? Three: a magic number

No matter your fitness level, the Dolomites Bike Day is a cycling event for everyone. You can take it as a real challenge and test your limits, or you can take it as a lovely day out in the mountains and ride the three passes with an e-bike.

Traffic free, great atmosphere and stopping at proper local cafes / bar beats any feed station!

The DBD is a 51 km long hug between Alta Badia and Livinallongo. We cyclists are the blood that flows through the sinuous road veins in search of oxygen, given by the wonderful panorama that only the Dolomites can offer. I guarantee you that you will never want to let go!

A challenging and rewarding route through stunning scenery. 4 of us ladies travelled from the UK to take part in a very memorable weekend in a cycling heaven. Love the fact that it's free and you just turn up and keep the pedals turning.

Sharing this special day with many bike lovers was a unique experience for me. Families with children, professional and passionate cyclists ... an excellent opportunity to ride on the Dolomite passes while enjoying the wonder of these mountains, all without motorized traffic!
