THE FINEST CYCLING ITALY HAS TO OFFER

Haute Route Dolomites and Haute Route Stelvio Courses Revealed

Following the recent course announcements for the Haute Route Alpe d’Huez and Haute Route Ventoux, details were revealed today for the 2019 Haute Route Dolomites (June 7-9) and Haute Route Stelvio (September 20-22) courses. Highlighting the finest cycling that Italy has to offer, both events have several new features this year, including new dates for both, a prestigious new host town in Cortina d’Ampezzo for the Haute Route Dolomites and a Duo-only competition format for the Haute Route Stelvio.

Kicking off the European season in June (June 7 to 9), the Haute Route Dolomites returns for its second edition in the 3-day format, moving to the new and prestigious host town of Cortina d’Ampezzo. Possibly the most luxurious ski resort in Italy, Cortina d’Ampezzo is the ideal location for hosting this event in the heart of the Dolomites. The new course includes iconic cols such as the Passo Pordoi and Passo Sella as well as two ascents of the Passo Falzarego, a unique summit finish on Tre Cime di Lavaredo and a time trial up Passo Giau.

Taking place at the end of the summer in Bormio, the Duo-only Haute Route Stelvio also returns for a second edition from the 20th to 22nd of September. Featuring climbs up the Umbrail Pass, Passo Mortirolo and Passo Gavia the course also includes a summit finish on the Passo Dello Stelvio (from Prato allo Stelvio) on stage one and an uphill time trial on the Stelvio (from Bormio) on the final day. Invite a friend and team up to take on the Stelvio together this September!
