SHORT STAGE DESCRIPTION

This stage takes you into the heart of the Dolomites. From Ponte Gardena/Waidbruck you go directly in the Gardena valley passing through the villages of Ortisei/St. Ulrich, Santa Cristina and Selva/Wolkenstein. From here the first climb of the day begins up to the Passo Sella. Once you have descended to Pian de Schiavaneis, on the road to the second peak of the day, you will take the timed section: the 6.1 km and 422 meters of climbing up to the Passo Pordoi must be covered as quickly as possible. At Pordoi a rich refreshment awaits you and a 360° panorama of the most beautiful and highest peaks of the Dolomites. A fun descent towards Arabba follows, where you can gather your strength to start pedaling on the Passo Campologo, pass number 3 of the Sellaronda. In Corvara, main village of Val Badia, cyclists can stop and enjoy a well-deserved lunch necessary to overcome the last uphill that ends on the Passo Gardena. Here the circle around the Sella massif closes and the almost endless descent through Gardena valley begins until arriving in Ponte Gardena/Waidbruck.
