Gran Fondo Sportful

Join 5,000 other cyclists for a Gran Fondo highlight in the northeast Italian town of Feltre. Check-in at your 4**** hotel in Follina. This accommodation is specifically chosen to enable you to ride out into the best local cycling countryside, not far away from Feltre and right in the middle of the Prosecco region.
The Gran Fondo Sportful Feltre Dolomiti is one of the hardest cyclosportives in Italy. In 2009, the famous Gran Fondo Campagnolo became the Gran Fondo Sportful. Based in the small town of Feltre, in the foothills of the Dolomites, the Gran Fondo Sportful Feltre event is a must-do.

A superb course takes you over some fantastic climbs and through some of Italy’s most treasured countryside. There are two distances to choose, 132km and 204km, all going out on a circular route starting and finishing in the small town of Feltre. Starting from the town of Feltre the route quickly climbs into the Dolomites, tackling the legendary climbs of the Croce D’Aune, Passo di Rolle, and the Passo di Valles at 2032m. After 204km you return to Feltre with over 5000m of climbing in the legs!
