Sellaronda MTB Tour

The Sella Group is located in the middle of the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites and is a paradise for mountain bikers. On the Sellaronda MTB Tour, you will cycle around the Sella Group on narrow trails, beautiful forest roads and gravel paths. Along the way, you'll use several lifts in which you can comfortably take your mountain bike with you. The tour can be ridden in two directions: clockwise and counter-clockwise. Due to its technical demands, you should have adequate riding skills, experience and endurance for the tour even if you use an e-bike.

The Sellaronda can be started from one of the four valleys of Alta Badia, Arraba, Val di Fassa or Val Gardena, all of which are part of the Dolomiti Supersummer network, which allows you to use all lifts with a single ticket. In addition to individual tours, the circuit can also be ridden with a personal guide for a first-class experience of its own! You can rent mountain bikes and e-mountain bikes at one of the bike rental shops in the region.
