Sella Ronda (Gegenuhrzeigersinn)
Description
The Sella Ronda can be started anywhere around the Sella massif: Selva Gardena in Val Gardena, Canazei in Val di Fassa, Arraba or Corvara in Alta Badia are all good starting points. In this case, it is Selva di Val Gardena where you start the circular tour with the Campinoi cable car. This is followed by a short gravel descent before taking the Gran Paradiso cable car to the Sella Pass region. Finally, the Rodella chairlift rides up to Col Rodella. This is where the singletrail adventure can begin! It starts with the Tutti Frutti descent over the mountain ridge down to Canazei: a challenging but varied single trail, which is often used as a race track in the World Enduro Series. This trail takes you down to Canazei and you can take the cable car up to Col dei Rossi. A short climb to the Fredarola hut is necessary to start the singletrail fun of Arabba. A winding, fun mountain bike trail rides down to the valley floor, the Fodom cable car takes you up to the Pordoi Joch, before you take the sensational high-altitude trail to the Burz hut and flow down to Arabba on a winding trail.
Then you'll need some muscle power. As there is no cable car operating in summer in the direction of Alta Badia, the ascent to Passo Incisa has to be mastered under your own steam. The asphalt road, which initially climbs pleasantly, turns into a steep gravel road as the altitude increases. Once you have reached the inconspicuous pass, the descent to Corvara begins. This begins harmlessly with a constructed flow trail, but later turns into a tricky root carpet. If you make it through this section, you can then roll down to Corvara on small roads.
The return journey to Val Gardena is next. To do this, you take the gondola lift up to the Jimmy hut, but have to pedal up from Corvara to Calfosch to the valley station under your own steam. From the Jimmy hut to Selva Gardena, pure downhill fun is the order of the day. A mixture of flowing trails and gravel paths takes you directly to the center of Selva Gardena. Conclusion: If you like tours with mountain railway transport and challenging single trails against a unique backdrop, the Sella Ronda counter-clockwise is the perfect choice.
Note: This version of the Sella Ronda counter-clockwise corresponds to the official version overall, but the ride version is enriched with some additional single trails.
