Passo Valparola
Perhaps the hidden gem of the Dolomites. While most cyclists take Passo Falzarego straight to Cortina, a short ramp from the Lagazuoi cable car leads to the Valparola. Up here, the landscape feels almost lunar. At the top, a nearly flat kilometer offers both food and cultural stops.
