Dolomite peaks, pastures, roads with bristling switchbacks, nature and beautiful views. The cycling route of the Börz-Plose Bike Day is extremely fascinating.

Experienced cyclists as well as amateurs can test themselves on the 51 km of road (1,370 m. of elevation gain) that starting from the gates of Brixen, in a loop circuit, circumnavigates the Plose massif, also reaching the Passo delle Erbe(Börz, its original Ladin name), one of the most beautiful passes in the Dolomites.

An exciting experience, immersed in a unique alpine panorama, cycling surrounded by the Sass Putia Group, the Plose and the forests of the Luson Valley.
