THE ROUTE FOR THOSE WHO LOVE EXHILARATING DESCENTS
The Sellaronda MTB TOUR can be started from one of the four valleys around the Sella massif: Val Gardena, Alta Badia, Arabba or Val di Fassa.
The clockwise Sellaronda MTB TOUR involves relatively few uphill metres to cycle (about 370 m), thanks to the use of lifts that allow the transport of mountain bikes and e-bikes. There are numerous trails that require good riding technique. The total time varies according to riding ability: from a minimum of 5 to a maximum of 9 hours, including lunch break.
From Selva, take the Costabella chairlift and after a short descent on a gravel road, you reach the Dantercepies cable car. The first descent begins just below the mountain station: a single trail leads to the Gardena Pass and then on to Colfosco. From Corvara you take two more lifts before tackling the Panrama high trail to Pralongià and a flow trail to the Campolongo Pass. From here, take the Campolongo chairlift up and downhill on a trail that requires advanced riding technique to Arabba. The Pescoi and Forcella Europa lifts take you back to the top. From the top station you can admire the spectacular Marmolada glacier and the artificial lake of Fedaia.
The descent to the Fodom lift above Arabba is particularly challenging on a very steep gravel road and trail. From the Pordoi Pass, a long trail leads to Canazei. From Campitello you take the cable car to Col Rodella and continue on a flow trail to the Sella Pass. A short pedalling passage through the Stone City leads to the highest point of this special rock formation at the foot of the Sassolungo. From here, two flow trails lead to Plan de Gralba and further along a path to Selva Gardena.
