Cycle path Niederdorf/Villabassa - Cortina d´Ampezzo

From Niederdorf/Villabassa via Toblach/Dobbiaco, Dürrensee lake to Cortina and back. Here the mountain panorama of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage dominates the landscape.

The bike tour from Niederdorf to Cortina d'Ampezzo is one of the most beautiful cycling routes in the Dolomites and runs largely along the former Dolomitenbahn railway line. From Niederdorf, the bike path first follows the railroad line to Toblach. There, the signposted route branches off toward Cortina and follows a superbly maintained path, climbing steadily but gently through an impressive mountain landscape. Along the way, you’ll pass the picturesque Lake Toblach, the War Cemetery, the Drei-Zinnen-Blick viewpoint, and the idyllic Lake Dürrensee. After reaching the highest point of the tour at the Gemärk Pass at 1,530 meters, the scenic descent to Cortina d’Ampezzo begins. Along the way, tunnels and impressive bridges wind through the Dolomite landscape, offering magnificent views of the famous Tofane peaks and the well-known winter sports resort. During the summer season, Cortina Express operates buses with bike trailers for the return trip. Advance reservations are recommended.
