STAGE 1: Padola – Sappada (31 km)
The first leg of this fascinating itinerary is a continuous transition between millennial forests and historic towns. It starts from Padola, on the border of the Three Peaks of Lavaredo Park. With some slight ups and downs you reach Comelico superiore, and then continue first downhill and then flat following the course of the Padola stream to Santo Stefano di Cadore (km 10), where you meet the Piave River. You then pedal for 2 km to Campolongo, from where you follow the Frison stream bed for a stretch.
The route begins to gain altitude between Mt. Terza Piccola and Mt. Terza Media, rising from 900 meters to nearly 1700 reached at km 20 at Digola Pass. The next descent leads back to the meeting of the Piave River, which leads all the way to the arrival point in Sappada, passing by the pretty Ziegelhutte Lake.

Technical tips:
We recommend the use of the latest generation of front-full E-Bike (1-2 years old), in good condition with efficient battery and motor.

To ride the Dolomititrail by E-Bike is to discover an incomparable universe, that of theUNESCO World Heritage Dolomites. It means sharing the eternal dream of pioneers, traversing fairy-tale landscapes rich in history and discovering the intimacy of peaks, pastures and hamlets.
The Dolomititrail runs on the most beautiful paths and cart tracks in Comelico and Sappada, among the most charming villages and viewpoints in this corner of the Dolomites. During the 3 stages of the itinerary, you will pedal at the foot of Mount Peralba, at the source of the Piave River-the “Sacred River of the Fatherland”-along the Val Visdende, called the “Temple of God” for its primordial charm, reaching Mount Zovo and the splendid descent along the Cresta della Spina.
Riding the Dolomititrail with a pedal-assisted electric bicycle helps to combine spectacularity and feasibility. Thus, it is also possible to devote oneself to admiration and taste, enjoying the views and savoring the delicacies offered in the refuges, mountain huts and farmhouses encountered along the way.
