Sellaronda Bike Day – the legendary Sellaronda loop without cars

🚴 🌄 Here’s what to expect

The Sellaronda Bike Day is one of the most famous cycling events in the Dolomites and a true highlight for cycling enthusiasts. For two days each year, the roads around the Sella massif belong exclusively to cyclists. The four famous Dolomite passes—Grödner Joch, Sellajoch, Pordoijoch, and Campolongopass—are closed to motorized traffic, offering a unique riding experience in the heart of the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Unlike a bike race, there is no timing, no rankings, and no race numbers. Thus, the focus is not on performance, but on riding together and experiencing nature. 🚵‍♂️🏔️
