"Maratona dles Dolomites" route

Clockwise direction: from Arabba center, climb the hairpins of Passo Pordoi. About halfway down is the junction that climbs Passo Sella, whose descent will lead you to the locality "Pian de Gralba" where you will find the junction for Passo Gardena, which will take you to Corvara.

From Corvara, turn right and, climbing Passo Campolongo, cross the Fodom Valley to the hamlet "Cernadoi", where there is the junction for Passo Falzarego. At the top begins the pleasant descent to the locality "Pocol" from where the infernal hairpins of Passo Giau start, whose equally fearsome descent will lead you, passing through the center of Colle Santa Lucia, back to the junction of "Cernadoi", where you will climb Passo Falzarego to reach the summit of Passo Valparola. From here, descend to La Villa, at the roundabout turn left and, passing through Corvara, climb Passo Campolongo, returning to Arabba.

Counterclockwise direction: from Arabba center, with the pleasant ups and downs of Dolomites Road no. 48, which passes through the village of Pieve di Livinallongo, reach the hamlet "Cernadoi" where there is the junction for Colle Santa Lucia and the dreaded Passo Giau. Once at the top, descend its equally fearsome descent to the locality "Pocol", where there is the junction for Passo Falzarego. At the top, turn right and, with a short but quite tough climb, reach the plateau of Passo Valparola, whose descent will lead you to La Villa in Badia.

At the roundabout in the center, turn left and, arriving at Corvara center, turn right towards Colfosco to take Passo Gardena. After crossing the summit, descend to the locality "Pian de Gralba" where you will find the junction for Passo Sella, halfway through which you will find the junction for Passo Pordoi which, with its 33 panoramic hairpins over the Fodom Valley, will take you back to Arabba.
