Passo Pordoi
Passo Pordoi has made the history of cycling because it has been the stage finish of the Giro d’Italia countless times but above all, because in several editions of the Giro, it was the highest pass climbed by cyclists. That is enough to give an idea of its charm. If you add the majestic beauty of the Dolomite landscape, it becomes a must for every bicycle lover.

La salita al Passo Pordoi è stata più volte arrivo di tappa del Giro d’ Italia e in numerose edizioni della corsa rosa è stato il passo più alto scalato dai ciclisti. Basta questo a sottolinearne il fascino.
E’ infatti una salita particolarmente cara a Gilberto Simoni che proprio sul Sass Pordoi, presso il rifugio Santa Maria, nell’inverno del 2003, annunciò la sua seconda sfida vincente del giro. E non a caso questa salita è dedicata al campione di Palù di Giovo.
La partenza è situata a Canazei in val di Fassa, dopo due chilometri ecco il tratto più impegnativo con una pendenza che sfiora quasi l’8 per cento. Poi la salita torna pedalabile fino alla cima dove un monumento ricorda il grande Fausto Coppi.
Il Pordoi è una meta classica per i cicloamatori. Fa parte della Gran Fondo “ La Maratona delle Dolomiti”, un evento che vede al via migliaia di appassionati delle due ruote.

The itinerary starts in Canazei in Val di Fassa, home to a population that has come from far away and speaks Ladin.
The first few kilometres are not too challenging and allow you to gaze into a landscape that tells the stories of great mountain climbers.
After two kilometres you come to face the most challenging stretch, with a slope that borders on 8%. Then the climb is again smooth up to the top where a monument commemorates the great Fausto Coppi. All around, among the many mountains you can see the outline of the Tofane, and the groups of Nuvolau and Croda da Lago-Lastoi de Formin.
Pordoi is a classic destination for cyclists. It is part of the Gran Fondo "Marathon of the Dolomites", an event that attracts thousands of passionate bikers, and it is also included in the Sellaronda, the ski route that highlights the extraordinary beauty of the Sella Massif.
