Passo Tre Croci is one of the most famous climbs in the Belluno Dolomites and a great cycling classic linked to the Giro d'Italia. The route, to be tackled entirely by bicycle, connects Cortina d'Ampezzo to the Misurina area by crossing alpine forests and magnificent views dominated by the Dolomite peaks. The pass, located at an altitude of 1,809 meters, has been tackled several times by Giro professionals due to its strategic importance in the mountain stages of the Dolomites. The climb affords spectacular views of the Cristallo and the Three Peaks, making it a popular destination for cyclists, cycle tourists and e-bikers. Once the pass is reached, the route can continue to Misurina and Tre Cime di Lavaredo.
