Route Details

Every cyclist visiting the Dolomites wants to ride the Sellaronda at least once. It's an amazing loop that you can ride clock- or counterclockwise. If you are the first time in the Dolomites and start from Badia we suggest to ride it clockwise having the Passo Campolongo as the first climb. This way you don't have to ride the steep slopes of the Passo Gardena (on the other side of the valley) at the beginning.

Perfect starting point is the town of @point[Badia](d,3.61) from where you have a nice 8km warm up getting towards the town of Corvara from where the climbing starts. Parking lot is available at [Hotel & Restaurant Ustaria Posta](http://www.ustariaposta.it) for free, @poi[Ustaria Posta ](1742140) is also headquarter of the local cycling club.

* There is no need to bring food or 2 water bottles, water fountains are in every town and even on the side of the road. For food make sure you stop in some of the huts on the road. Our suggestion?
