Mountain Bike Circular Tour – To Prato Piazza

Tour Highlights:
This itinerary takes you to three truly iconic spots in the Dolomites: Lake Dobbiaco, Lake Landro, and the Prato Piazza plateau with its breathtaking Dolomite panorama. You will also cross the Val di Landro, which offers a privileged viewpoint of the Tre Cime. For about half of the route, you will be riding right through the heart of the Dolomites.

The starting point of this route is at the Huski bike rental in Monguelfo. From there, follow the Puster Valley cycle path to Dobbiaco. From Dobbiaco, continue for about 13 kilometers to Carbonin. Here begins the 7 km climb along a wide military road, leading to the highest point of the tour: Prato Piazza in the Braies Valley. From there, the route continues along the asphalt road (caution: mixed traffic!) until the “Segheria” junction in Braies. From this point, you return to Monguelfo on the asphalt cycle path.
