MMountain bike enthusiasts in the Dolomites can start planning their season: the opening dates of the Sellaronda MTB Tour for summer 2026 have been officially announced. This is one of the most iconic MTB tours in the Alps.
From mid-June to the end of September, the route is designed for experienced riders, requiring good physical fitness and solid riding skills on technical trails, gravel sections and challenging descents.
The tour can be ridden clockwise or counterclockwise, using either a traditional mountain bike or an e-bike.
The route circles the majestic Sella Group, crossing four legendary Dolomite mountain passes that are symbols of Alpine cycling:
- Passo Campolongo
- Passo Pordoi
- Passo Sella
- Passo Gardena
The use of lift facilities helps manage the major elevation gains, but does not eliminate the overall technical difficulty of the tour, which remains recommended for well-trained and experienced mountain bikers only.
Along the route, there are mountain huts and restaurants in the valleys, ideal for relaxing breaks surrounded by the stunning Dolomite landscape.
