My name is Anna, I'm 25 years old, and I'm from Germany. Nature, culture, and photography are my passions. The bicycle is a recent love story: when I cycle I feel more inspired than ever. When I heard about the Dolomites Bike Day, in the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage site, I decided: that is where I want to go.
Photography is my passion, and when I cycle, I always find new inspirations. I told myself: "the Dolomites Bike Day, in the Dolomites, it's the perfect day to feel part of a natural heritage of unique beauty.
To discover the valleys, to admire the rocky peaks, to learn about the Ladin history. I can't wait to begin my trip!

I've read that to complete the 51km loop you need 1,500 kcal on average. I have to get in the right amount of energy, which means a full breakfast before the start and snacks along the way, along with a regular hydration plan. At the end, a good lunch is the right reward.
The correct nutritionWell, no, 16 hairpin bends are not enough to complete the entire loop. 16 are the hairpin bends to the Falzarego pass, 13 km of pure pleasure with spectacular panoramic points.
If you ride down from the Campolongo Pass, you reach the village of Arabba. Its inhabitants are also known in the area as "i glacei da Rèba" or "the frozen ones" because the place is mostly in the shade.
