Arabba-Trail

Friends of gravity watch out: The Pordoi circular tour is one of the most fun trail experiences to be had in the Pordoi Pass region. Five cable cars are used for the ascents, each time a different one. This results in a round tour that is second to none.

Description

The starting point of the tour is Arabba, but it can also be started in Canazei at the very top of Val di Fassa. From the start in Arabba, take the gondola lift up to Porta Vescovo with a fantastic view of the Marmolada opposite. In terms of biking, you now have a cold start: The descent down to the Fedaia reservoir is fast, fun but also challenging, partly because of the hairpin bends in the lower section. At the dam wall, you can breathe a sigh of relief before heading straight into the next challenging trail. This leads down into the Val de Ciampie with lots of slippery rock, where you can relax for a while. The trail on the valley floor is much smoother and leads to the valley station of the Col dei Rossi cable car. However, we continue riding along the cycle path to Canazei and take the gondola up to Col Rodella. Descent number two is next: This rides from Col Rodella over the ridge to Col de Salaei and finally down to Pian Frataces. Here you take the cable car again, this time up to Gherdecia, and then follow the bike trails to the Pecol station, which is offset lower down. The next fixed point is the Col dei Rossi and thus the starting point for the long ride back to Arabba. On fun single trails specially designed for bikers, you head for the Fodom gondola lift, which takes you up to the Pordoi Pass. This is the final section and also the trail highlight of the day. The path high above the Val dei Fodom to the Rifugio Col de Burz is top class, while the final section down to Arabba is a small miracle of curves. Conclusion: a day packed with trails and virtually no ascents. However, the trails are tough, which is why a good level of fitness is required despite the few meters in altitude.
