The Dolomites are a bikers' paradise, and in truth it’s difficult to point to just one favourite road in the area. At last count I had about 30 favourites, but for the purpose of this guide I had to settle on just one and the circular route around the Sella Massif taking in Passo Campogolo, Passo Gardena, Passo Sella and Passo Pordoi, was it.
The roads are simply superb in the line they take, the condition of the tarmac and the riding demands placed on the rider. There is not one yard of this 32-mile route that does not delight or inspire or clarify the sheer joy of riding a motorcycle in spectacular scenery.
There are too many switchbacks to count, too many highlights to recall and plenty of cafes and restaurants along the way to stop, chill and take in the magnificence of the place.
