PASSO GARDENA FROM COVARA BIKE CLIMB | BIKE TOURING THE DOLOMITES
For me this is one of the best climbs on the Sellaronda (4 Passes) route in the Dolomites. However, most individuals visiting the region ride the route clockwise and therefore descends this route rather than climbing. The climb is challenging but it is also an open climb, in the sense that you have great views and vison thoughtout the climb. As a descent the road is technical but very enjoyable but the better ride is from the Covara side.
