Tre Cime di Lavaredo - Cycling Inspiration & Education

Starting off your day by the serene shores of Lake Misurina, a perfect Dolomite backdrop of two of the three "Tre Cime di Lavaredo" peaks is your every inspiration and, although this is only a short climb at just 7.5km, it's certainly not for the faint hearted.
First used in the 1967 Giro d'Italia, on that occasion the stage was deemed null and void at the end after spectators were pushing the riders up its vicious gradients. A year later and Eddy Merckx romped up the slopes to take victory, sighting it as one of his best ever! Such is the history and heritage of this fabulous climb.
Take your time, be prepared for a long stretch at over 15% and soak up some of the very best mountain views in the world. You'll have to put the work in but by the summit we can guarantee you won't be disappointed!
Start: Misurina
Length: 7.5km
Summit: 2,333m
Elevation gain: 581m
Average gradient: 7.9%
Max gradient: 16%
Ridden in September

Great film, really captured the atmosphere of the climb. Personally when I did it a couple of weeks back I was not dancing on the pedal quite as much as you... It's a hard hard climb but absolutely worth it.

@Ulrich.Bierwisch 5 жыл бұрын

I was there on a nice summer weekend many years ago. The toll is actually a parking ticket for the Refugio Auronzo on the top. They close the road for cars if the parking in full. For each car coming down, they let on car go up. I passed several km of cars waiting that day. The actual climb was pretty calm with almost no traffic. I heard this is still that way but only on a few days in summer for a couple of hours.

To see Mike dance out of the pedals inspired me into a show off. I'm seated most of the time and even on climbs but for a camera, I'll just slap a few gears harder to dance for it. 🤫

@Ulrich.Bierwisch 5 жыл бұрын

Sorry but this is not the case, at least not in the north and especially not in the mountains. I'm doing cycling trips in the Alps since more than 30 years and Italian drivers are taking care. Italians like cycling and respect riders. It is kind of the same in France and even better in Switzerland. I prefer those countries over Austria and Germany, where I live.

An Italian once told me that anyone can play footbal but to ride a bike takes a special individual...hence the empathy and deep feeling in the Italian psyche...
