18^ MARCIALONGA CRAFT - 31.05.2026

The departure point is Predazzo. Head towards Moena, the ‘Fairy of the Dolomites’, and continue until you reach Sen Jan di Fassa, where you take the first climb towards the Costalunga Pass. These first 16 kilometres are slightly uphill, but very rideable. The Costalunga climb is egular, without excessive gradients; in the last two kilometres before the pass, the road flattens out, allowing you to enjoy the view. Here begins the long descent of about 10 km that runs alongside Lake Carezza, passing the village of Nova Levante. After a short climb to the hamlet of S. Valentino, the road descends again to Ponte Nova, the lowest point of the route. This is where the climb to the Pampeago Pass begins: the almost 14 km climb alternates between short rideable sections and sections with significant gradients. From Obereggen to the Pampeago Pass, and then downhill to Alpe Pampeago, the road is closed to vehicles, allowing you to cycle in greater peace.
The descent from Passo Pampeago is very technical and requires particular attention due to the high speeds that can be reached.
Shortly before Predazzo, you must choose whether to stop at the medium route or continue towards the San Pellegrino and Valles passes, thus completing the longer route.
Continuing along the long route, you will face the San Pellegrino Pass, and the challenging climb up Passo Valles, the shortest but steepest pass, which leads to the imposing Pale di San Martino. The descent is then tackled, which is particularly technical in the first part, passing through the centuries-old trees of the Paneveggio Natural Park to arrive in Predazzo.
