MONTE PASUBIO TOUR
Where the mountain keeps its stories and every pedal stroke is a conquest
An epic tour through alpine nature and historical memory, in the heart of the Little Dolomites.
The ride starts at the foot of Monte Pasubio, gaining elevation along the scenic Strada degli Scarubbi, before returning along the evocative Strada degli Eroi, on an itinerary that combines effort, breathtaking views, and history.
An authentic experience for trained bikers who want to experience the mountains in all their intensity.
The Climb: Strada degli Scarubbi
The day begins with a technical briefing and bike preparation. We start from Passo Xomo, leaving the famous Strada delle 52 Gallerie on our left.
With a steady rhythm we climb along the Strada degli Scarubbi, a wide historic military gravel road with consistent and rideable gradients.
The ascent is progressive but continuous… the landscape opens up to deep valleys and imposing rock walls. The switchbacks follow one another in a panoramic crescendo, offering ever-wider views over the Little Dolomites.
Here the mountain is the absolute protagonist: silence, wind, and the sound of tires rolling over gravel.
At Altitude: Between History and Panoramas
Once we reach the Rifugio Papa area, we enter the symbolic heart of Monte Pasubio. This massif was the site of fierce fighting during World War I, and still preserves many military structures and historical remains.
Riding here means crossing a place full of memory, where nature and history coexist in perfect balance.
The Descent: Strada degli Eroi
The return follows the Strada degli Eroi, a historic military road carved into the rock and dedicated to the fallen soldiers of the Great War.
The route alternates flowing sections with more technical stretches, always on gravel, featuring panoramic switchbacks and spectacular viewpoints.
The descent is fun but requires attention and good bike control: this is where technique and focus blend with the pure joy of riding in the mountains.
