At the tail part of the 66 km that we did we did more pushing than pedaling uphill.

Doing the Sella Ronda using the cable cars to reach all 4 mountain passes around the Sella massif will set you back 45€ but you will save over 4000 vertical meters of pedaling.

Less uphill, more time for views.

Uf, we did the mountain biking trip to the Dolomites again…and it was…why did we not repeat that sooner? The landscape, the mountains, the vertical walls, the views, the green pastures, blue skies… it is an amazing place to visit. Doing the Sella Ronda circle some of the trails are just boring downhills but then again, with views like that you are not even looking at the trail most of the time. And there are some gems in between. There is also a new Flow trail just above the Gardena pass from the top of the Dantercepies cable car:

 
The trail from Passo Pordoi towards Arabba has lots of nice and flowy berms:

There is also a Relive video if you want to picture the whole Sella Ronda circle, all the trails we did and the topography of the place.
