Embark on the Tre Croci and Cimabanche Passes Loop from Cortina for a moderate racebike adventure through the stunning Dolomites. This route spans 24.5 miles (39.4 km) with a significant elevation gain of 2823 feet (860 metres), typically completed in about 2 hours and 11 minutes. You'll experience a varied climbing profile, from the demanding ascent of Passo Tre Croci to the more gradual climb of Passo Cimabanche, all while enjoying views of majestic peaks like Monte Cristallo and Sorapiss. The journey also brings you past the serene Lago Scin and close to the famous Lake Misurina, offering diverse scenery throughout your ride.
For the best experience on this racebike loop, consider riding it in a clockwise direction. This approach allows you to warm up before tackling the more challenging climb of Passo Tre Croci. The route primarily uses well-paved surfaces, ensuring a smooth ride for most road bikes. However, be aware that some sections, particularly those on former railway lines, might feature excellent dirt roads; your road bike should ideally have tires of at least 28mm for comfort on these parts.
This loop is situated within the Parco Naturale Regionale delle Dolomiti d'Ampezzo, an area renowned for its natural beauty and geological significance. The varied terrain, from demanding ascents to gentler slopes, showcases the diverse landscapes of this iconic region. It offers a rewarding challenge for cyclists with good fitness, providing a comprehensive tour of two significant Dolomite passes and their surrounding vistas.
