THE ROUTE

San Boldo: the engineering climb

The route gains significant elevation as it scales Passo San Boldo—the historic “strada dei 100 giorni” that links the Veneto foothills with the high valleys—providing sustained climbing and technical road sections.

THE LANDSCAPE

Lago di Barcis and the Dolomiti Friulane

After Longarone the tour continues through the Parco naturale delle Dolomiti Friulane, running alongside the vivid green waters of Lago di Barcis and into alpine valley scenery.

THE HISTORY

Longarone and the Vajont

The itinerary passes Longarone, the town internationally known for the Vajont disaster of 9 October 1963, a solemn historical waypoint on the ride.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this tour suits—and who should consider alternatives.

1
Experienced road cyclistsWell matched: the tour’s high difficulty rating and extensive elevation demand strong endurance and climbing ability.
2
Adventure day‑trippersA compelling single‑day alpine ride that showcases Dolomiti scenery and lakes for riders seeking a full‑effort outing.
3
Families with fit ridersParticipants of all ages are accepted, but the route’s difficulty means younger or less experienced family members should assess fitness before joining.
4
Casual riders or beginnersNot ideal: difficulty 5 and long distance make this a poor match for casual cyclists unless support and shorter options are arranged.
