Many people like to drive up and down the Alps on their motorbikes. Passo Cimabanche is one of the most popular and most spectacular mountain passes that connect Italy to Germany / Austria and vice versa.
By mountain bike or on foot
The Chalet is located at the highest point of the "Lunga via delle Dolomiti" (Langer Weg der Dolomiten), a cycling path that connects Calalzo di Cadore to Dobbiaco/Toblach, one of the most beautiful cycle itineraries of all the Dolomites. From the Pass, the difference in height is moderate and constant (2%) on both sides, thus making the route suitable not only for mountain-bikers, but also for families and children. Furthermore, the Chalet Cimabanche is a destination for numerous cyclists who want to reach Venice by bike from Germany.
Being located on the Pass, the Chalet is considered to be the best place to stop, from here you just go downhill both sides.
Cross-country skiing in winter
For all fans of Nordic skiing, the Chalet is a very important stop in the harsh winter days. The famous cross-country slope, considered one of the most beautiful tracks in the world, connects Cortina to Dobbiaco/Toblach, winding along the former railway, the same route that in summer is used by cyclists and hikers. On this track takes place every winter the Gran Fondo Cortina-Dobbiaco/Toblach, a race of international importance, which sees the participation of thousands of cross-country skiers every year.
