Next dates: 8^th (form 8.00 am until 2.30 pm) June and 7^th September (from 8.30 am until 4.00 pm) 2024

A bike event doesn't have to be a strenuous race or competition. Sometimes, it's about experiencing a wonderful ride with your friends and family. The Sellaronda Bike Day is the ideal event for families with children. For this special occasion, the passes around the Sella will be closed to motor traffic. This means that you are safe with your loved ones and you can set the pace of your cycling tour yourself. During this time it is up to you whether you cycle around the entire Sella Group or tackle just a single mountain pass. You'll have great fun mastering the Sellaronda together with cyclists of all generations and sporting levels, enjoying magnificent views and taking extensive breaks along the route.
