Giro d'Italia climbs - Passo San Pellegrino

<p>From the center of Moena, the first climb begins, allowing you to reach the panoramic area of the village with a spectacular view of the Catinaccio and Sassolungo. At the junction, turn right and continue on state road no. 346 (S.S. 346). You ride easily, leaving on your left the valley station of the Lusia lifts in Ronchi (4.5 km). You continue alternating short sections with steep gradients (from 10% to 14%) with long straight parts (only 4 hairpin bends), passing through the localities of Fango and Alochet. In total, it is 13 kilometers, of which 11 uphill, to climb back the Dolomite pass, which in winter is at the center of the homonymous ski area connected by Col Margherita with Falcade.</p> <p>Return along the same route or the possibility to continue towards Falcade and Passo Valles, following the Marcialonga Cycling Craft route.</p>
