Step into the heart of the Dolomites for an unforgettable cycling experience built around
the Granfondo Sportful Dolomiti. This is more than a race — it is a celebration of cycling
culture, Italian style and the pure joy of riding in one of the world’s greatest road cycling destinations.
Set against dramatic, jagged peaks preparing to host the Winter Olympics, the journey blends
scenic warm-up rides, legendary climbs and the electric energy of race day. These UNESCO-listed roads are the
true home of Italian cycling.
On May 29th, the Giro d’Italia departs from Feltre, retracing half of the prestigious Sportful
Gran Fondo route — giving you the chance to follow directly in the tyre tracks of the pro peloton.
Without a doubt, this is Europe’s toughest Granfondo: a demanding yet deeply rewarding challenge
where every ascent tests both legs and spirit. Among its legendary roads is the Passo Croce d’Aune.
It was here that Tulio Campagnolo had the revolutionary intuition for the
quick-release skewer, an invention that changed cycling forever. Today, riders can pause at the
monument dedicated to this moment before taking on the final kilometres.
Ride alongside cycling legends, enjoy exclusive behind-the-scenes access and immerse yourself in Italian cycling
life — from espresso stops to post-ride aperitivi. With seamless support, curated routes and the unmistakable
identity of Sportful, this is cycling at its most challenging, inspiring and authentically Italian.
