The Dolomites have become even more bike-friendly in occasion of the UCI World Championships on 27 June. In fact, the mountain range now has new mountain bike trails you can ride to your heart’s content during summer, open to all levels.
The Dolomites, one of the most beautiful natural landscapes
in the world. No other mountain range in the Alps can boast such a stunning
view. The alpine landscape surrounding the Sella Massif is breathtaking and is
one of the most famous landscapes in the world: so much so that it has been
inscribed on the UNESCO
World Heritage Site list. The Südtirol Sellaronda HERO was born in 2010 and, since then, the mountainsides of the white mountains have been home to an ever growing number of mountain bikers. This was only possible thanks to the extensive work carried out on the paths and trails by local public administration. This summer will see larger groups of bikers making the most of the Dolomites, exploring the area on their mountain bikes in absolute safety.
Downhill MTB adrenaline.
Welcome to the Dolomites: experience new, thrilling rides with our new single trails
and
Enduro trails. The new, adrenaline-packed world for the daredevil,
gravity-defying mountain biker in you!Tourism is being reshaped as we speak, emerging and changing together with the HERO: a sustainable and green tourism for the Dolomites’ sensitive landscape. It doesn’t come as a surprise that even Reinhold Messner, the most famous South Tyrolean in the world, has decided to support this ‘new’ way of living the mountains. The Südtirol Sellaronda HERO promotional video, where he recounts his experience of the Dolomites, was met with resounding success.
