Itinerary
- Day 1
Treviso to Corvara
You'll start with a transfer from Treviso to San Vito di Cadore, then hop on a dedicated bike path that follows the old rail line all the way to Cortina d'Ampezzo. Stop for an espresso on Corso Italia to catch your breath before tackling Passo Falzarego, which is the real test for the day. After that comes a thrilling downhill run to La Villa and Corvara. If you're stronger on climbs, there's an option to do Passo Giau instead and arrive via the easier Passo Campolongo route.

Bormio
You've got choices today. Go for Passo Gavia if you want another big climb, or take a lighter route up to Laghi di Cancano. The Gavia from Bormio's side is easier than coming from Ponte di Legno, but it's still a long grind. Either way, spend some time in Bormio and try Pizzoccheri della Valtellina, a local dish with buckwheat noodles, potatoes, and cheese.

Queen Stage Loop
Today's the Queen Stage, a massive loop that starts with Passo del Mortirolo, then follows with Passo Gavia from the classic Ponte di Legno side.
