メッツァーノのおすすめライド

Regular and not too hard climb, suitable for those who are not super fit

Starting from Imer it is a very easy climb with gradients never above 8%

Beautiful pass road with mostly good asphalt.

Turning right at the junction takes you to the summit of the Passo Rolle. It's still a few kilometers to the top. After a somewhat easier section, the gradients in this section are slightly higher, around 7 percent.

If you want to get poisoned, this is the place!

It's a very steady climb and little known among cyclists approaching the Dolomites for the first time. However, it's a completely Dolomite climb, with typical landscapes and the advantage of being less difficult compared to other climbs. The eastern slope is the toughest, starting from the Val Agordina. It's 12.7 km with an average gradient of 5.4%, largely due to a 1 km break 3 km from the summit. If it weren't for this break, the gradient would be constant between 6 and 7%. This climb is closely linked to other climbs nearby: the Cereda Pass and the Forcella Franche Pass. The small valleys between these three climbs are perfect for finding quiet roads where you can discover idyllic places and routes to enjoy in the Bellunesi Dolomites.

The pass itself doesn't stand out for anything special. Its last 2 km on the northern slope are beautiful, as it passes through the village of Aune. This pass is worth visiting for two reasons: first, because legend has it that Mr. Campagnolo invented the gear shift on a bicycle to reach its summit; second, because of the tradition of ringing the bell at the church at the foot of the road before reaching the village of Aune.

After leaving the beautiful Lake Mis behind, the gorge narrows and the road gains a little height, passing through successive galleries and tunnels dug directly into the rock. It's a wonderful place that rivals the Sottoguda Gorge on the climb to Marmolada.
