Cortina – San Vito

Description

Scenic, varied path connecting Cortina d'Ampezzo to San Vito di Cadore on the orographic right of the Boite river. The beautiful low-traffic forest road to S. Vito begins in Socus, past the hill of the Trampolino Olimpico in Zuel. Immediately after crossing the bridge over the Boite river, take the road to the left and continue bearing left. Flat stretches in the woods alternate with uphill and downhill stretches on dirt roads. The dirt road is a lot of fun and slightly downhill After about 5 km you’ll meet the first short climb, an opportunity to warm up for the other two of about 50-60 m each. The descent to Lago di Mosigo then begins, crossing the Giralba bridge and following the flat road to Pian de l'Aga which leads directly to Chiapuzza and the lake. Pay attention to the road surface which could become challenging if it has rained in the previous days. On the opposite side of the lake, take the paved road uphill that leads to the centre of the village. Before the church, cross the road and take the "Lunga Via delle Dolomiti" cycle path on the left, which leads back to Cortina in 45 minutes.
