Legendary 3000-metre high mountains in the UNESCO world heritage site of the Dolomites, paths with panoramic views over wide expanses of alpine meadows with famous huts and mountain restaurants, fantastic cycle tours for sportspeople and amateurs and extreme sporting events with cult status entice visitors to South Tyrol. In summer, Val Gardena/Gröden offers a tremendous variety of leisure activities. Together with the charm and traditions of the people in the valley, a holiday here becomes an unforgettable experience.
On this Sunday morning in June, the entire Val Gardena is out and about. And not just on foot but also on two wheels. There’s no way that the locals are going to miss out on the
Sellaronda Bike Day. Children, parents and grandparents get on their bikes and look forward to an enjoyable tour up to the legendary Sellaronda passes that, on this day, are
closed to cars and are the exclusive preserve of cyclists. Cyclists work up a sweat when contending with the altitude difference of up to 700 metres up to the mountain passes
Passo di Gardena/Grödner Joch or the Passo di Sella/Sella Joch. However, the day is so pleasurable because everyone can cycle together at a leisurely pace, enjoying unique
views of the Sasso Lungo/Langkofel, Sellamassif and Marmolada/Marmolata. An espresso here, a panino there for refreshment – and then it’s back on the road again.
However, the Sellaronda Hero is something completely different. An extreme mountain bike race that is held the day before the Sellaronda Bike Day and that, covering a distance of 90 kilometres and ascending up to a height of 4,200 metres, is regarded as one of the world’s most challenging races. However, the people of Val Gardena are not just passionate about getting out onto their mountains this weekend (26-27 June 2010).
They enjoy the magnificent mountain landscape and countless opportunities throughout the summer season. There’s no doubt that this is the best recommendation of all for visitors.
Diverse active programme
Whoever wants to conquer the mountains on foot will find a diverse offer including everything from classical, leisurely walks and sporty mountain runs to challenging climbing tours.
