Dolomite Gravel-ish Loop

After scratching from a bikepacking race in the Dolomites, I was trying to figure out what would be a fun three day loop through the Dolomites on gravel.

I really liked the way this turned out because it has a mix of the best of the best the area has to offer, gently rolling cycling paths along rivers, high mountain passes, gravel roads leading away from civilization, and the iconic crags of granite that characterize the Dolomites. It turned out to be about half gravel, half road.

The three sections that I would 100% ride again are dropping into Nationalpark Hohe Tauern across the Austrian border and back, Parco Naturale Regionale delle Dolomiti d'Ampezzo and the decent to Pederü Berggasthaus, and riding across Seiser Alm under the Parco Naturale Sciliar – Catinaccio.
