One of the most beautiful tours for cyclists is the Sella Ronda in northern Italy. Starting in Alta Badia, the classic lap takes you over Passo Campolongo, Passo Sella, Passo Pordoi and Passo Gardena. If you ever need to die somewhere, you're close to cycling heaven here. In summer, it's already fantastic. It's a classic start to the Maratona dles Dolomites. Many cycling tourists also flock to this area to have cycled the Sella Ronda at least once. But would you also cycle it in winter?
Winter conditions Sella Ronda
In winter, the area around Alta Badia is a true skiing paradise. That's when people go skiing the same Sella Ronda. Editor Ella van Cycling Destination thought otherwise. Who took the bike to the mountains and swapped the skis for the two-wheeler for a day. There were still some people who almost turned their heads from their torsos in amazement. Cycling, now? Ella just did it. She went cycling the Sella Ronda in winter. Not only did it result in beautiful images, but also an experience you would like to have had once. Want to know what her experience was like?
