48km Cortina d’Ampezzo to S. Stefano di Cadore

Curl Ad InfinitumIOne of our last views of the Dolomitest was time to move on today, after a weekend of curling and partying. For seven years now we’ve come to Cortina in June for their curling tournament and when we discovered we could make it this year on our bikes we weren’t about to miss our chance to get back on the ice and catch up with friends we haven’t seen for months. Maybe the numerous beers and late nights didn’t help our cycling – it was hard work getting back on the bikes – but we had a great time and did pretty well in the tournament. Our team placed fifth and we all got new iPods… amazingly a prize we wanted and could carry with us! With the tournament over, we hit the road again, setting a course this time for Slovenia. A few more mountain passes lie between us and the border and the first one was just outside Cortina; Passo Tre Croci at 1,809 meters. We took it really slowly since Friedel picked up a sinus cold , which makes climbing at any speed almost impossible. It was early afternoon before we coasted over the top and then downhill for quite some distance, through a large stretch of woodland and pastures, always with the mountains looming over us. After gliding down for a good 25km we turned east and soon found a camping spot for the night, just beside a river. We’re hoping a good night’s rest will see off the cold germs so we can carry on a bit further tomorrow.

    Road notes: Road 48 leading up to Passo Tre Croci is reasonably quiet, save for a few tour buses heading downhill to Cortina. The route gets a bit busier as you descend to Auronzo but not by much. Auronzo has several grocery stores, with the biggest one towards the south of town. There is also a tourist bureau there. Otherwise there are not many services throughout this route, just a few restaurants. You don’t have to take the tunnel that leads from S. Caterina to S. Stefano as an old road a bit further south serves as a bike path. You are, however, allowed to take the tunnel and it is wide and well lit.

    What we spent: €2.60 groceries, €84 camping, €10 post office
