"Tre Cime di Lavaredo" route

Counterclockwise route: starting from Arabba, pedal towards Falzarego before descending towards Cortina d'Ampezzo, warming your legs in anticipation of more challenging climbs.

The first steep section is Passo Tre Croci, an 8 km climb with a maximum gradient of 12% leading toward Misurina and its lake. From here, you must take the private road near Lake "Misurina" where you will climb for 7 km until reaching the "Auronzo" Refuge at 2,333 m elevation.

However, the real climb starts after the toll booth: 4 km, 700 m elevation gain, and an average gradient above 11%.

Returning to Arabba, climb Passo Cimabanche and Passo Falzarego which, after tackling two very demanding climbs and several kilometers, may represent the last challenge before the finish.

Clockwise route: starting from Arabba, pedal towards Passo Falzarego before descending towards Cortina d'Ampezzo, warming your legs for the more challenging climbs.

From the center of Cortina, turn left and reach Passo Cimabanche, continue to "Carbonin" where you will find the junction for Passo Tre Croci.

Once you reach Misurina, known for its homonymous lake, turning left, climb the first tough switchbacks of the private road to the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, which after 7 km will take you to the "Auronzo" Refuge at 2,333 m. The real climb begins after the toll booth: 4 km, 700 m elevation gain, and average gradient above 11%.

After admiring up close the three famous towers, descend the same way and after a short break on the shores of Lake "Misurina", continue descending Passo Tre Croci which will bring you back to Cortina.

After strolling through the center, the last effort of the day awaits: Passo Falzarego. With a rideable climb you will reach the summit, from where you will descend to "Cernadoi" where you will meet the junction with Dolomiti Road No. 48, a pleasant up-and-down that will bring you back to Arabba.
