Ride Passo Giau at a steady pace from the start: the climb is long and consistent with little recovery. Avoid pushing too hard early on.
The Giau pass is the great challenge for all those who undertake the marathon Maratona dles Dolomites, 10 km with long sections at 10.5% slope with the last kilometre at 10.2% slope. A climb that will remain among the cyclists’ memories.
Long and technical descent towards Cortina with many hairpins. Control your speed and watch for traffic, especially in summer. Weather can change quickly at higher altitude.
