Unique passes with breathtaking views<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It's 6:15 a.m. on the first Sunday of July. Maratona day. You're at the starting gate in La Ila, along with thousands of other cyclists. At 6:30 a.m., you'll set off. From then on, all you'll hear and see is bikes and cyclists. We'll tell you all about the routes you can cycle during the Maratona. On a completely car-free course!<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The first few hours are a bit busy on the climbs and there is chatting and laughing. Although, the further you go, the more you hear laboring and heavy breathing. Especially on a climb like the Passo Giau. Very special to experience that the roads are truly car-free and you can conquer the mountains together with like-minded people. An insight into the routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three routes: Sella Ronda, Mediofondo and Maratona<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

During the event you can choose three distances: the Sella Ronda of 55km, the Mediofondo of 106km or the Granfondo Maratona of 138km. For all three routes you start with the Sella Ronda from Corvara. The first climb is the Passo Campolongo, followed by the Pordoi, Sella and Gardena. Logically, Corvara is also your finish if you cycle the shortest distance. You will then have climbed approximately 1780 meters in altitude. We have already explored this round in depth for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mediofondo<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

If you go for the Mediofondo, you will gain more than 1300 elevation meters for a total of 3100 elevation meters. After passing through Corvara, you can conquer the Passo Campolongo again, after which you turn left in Arabba. After an undulating intermediate section, you arrive in Cernadoi. Here you can go straight ahead for the Granfondo route. This is only allowed if you arrive at this point on time. If you are late or if you want to do the Mediofondo anyway, turn left and start directly at the Passo Falzarego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a lovely walking climb of 10.5km at 6.3%. However, the devil is in the tail, at the top you turn left to the Passo Valparola. You still get 1.5km of 8% with a peak of 12%. After a beautiful descent you arrive back at the starting point of La Ila. Instead of the shortest route to Corvara, you get a dessert: the Mur dl Giat, or the Cat Wall. Truly a wall of 0.4km at 13.4% with a maximum of 19%. After this it is another 3km false flat to Corvara for the finish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Granfondo Maratona dles Dolomites<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Will you be on time and go for the full distance of 138km with 4230 meters of altitude? Then you go straight ahead at Cernadoi. You continue your way into the valley. Here follows a climb of 2.3km at 7.5% towards Selva di Cadore. Keep your powder dry, because 4km later the Passo Giau, the executioner of the Maratona, starts. At 9.9km a 9.3%, a climb that demands the utmost from you. You immediately start with stretches in double figures and the climb never falls below 8%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have reached the top, a beautiful and clear descent awaits you. At the bottom, turn left, towards the Passo Falzarego and extension to the Passo Valparola. The road climbs approximately 4% in the beginning and becomes steeper towards the end. No more shocking percentages, but with everything you've already had, you will undoubtedly feel your legs. This route also includes the Mur dl Giat for dessert, before you can collect your medal in Corvara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
