The most spectacular bike paths in Cortina and surroundings

Cortina is crossed by the Dolomiti Bike Path (Ciclabile delle Dolomiti), a spectacular 60 km bike path in the heart of the Dolomites, connecting Calalzo di Cadore to Dobbiaco. The cycle path is accessible in both directions. Starting from Dobbiaco, the first stretch (about 15 km) is a gentle ascent to the Cimabanche Pass, afterwards, for the next 45 km, it is either flat or downhill. The bike path was originally a railway line that connected Calalzo di Cadore to Dobbiaco: it traverses canynos and galleries and it provides spectaculare views. The railway was built during the years of the Great War to bring troops and supplies to the front and was then used for civilians and in 1956 for the Winter Olympics held in Cortina.
