Tips

July 12, 2021

Road cycling

It starts from the inhabited center of Dogna, for those arriving from the cycle path you will find the climb at 100m turning left after the descent. Mountain road with decent road surface, pay attention to the presence of pebbles in some curves. The climb is 17km long, alternating pieces of slight slope downhill with double-digit 10-12% ramps, pay attention to the last km where the road begins to rise in an important way (after the Casera Plan dei Spadovai) and then reach an open space where you can not help but go back by the same path.

Hiking

The Somdogna saddle is the end of the long and bold carriage road that runs through the entire Dogna valley. Various paths branch off from the saddle which lead to exploring the surrounding mountains, rich in evidence of the Great War.

Road cycling

Beautiful and quiet road. Also possible to climb the off-road path on road bike with 28mm tyres coming from Valbruna , but requires a lot of coordination and effort. Only a small bit between Rifugio Grego and Sella Somdogna requires the bike to be pushed or ridden unclipped.
From here I recommend pushing/carefully riding your bike to Rigufio Grego for a nice cake and stunning view!
