Four Roads, One Unforgettable Ride
There’s a ride every seasoned motorcyclist dreams of — a route where asphalt, altitude, and adrenaline converge. The “Giro dei 4 Passi”, or Four Passes Tour, is that ride. Carving through the Sella massif in the heart of the Dolomites, this legendary loop takes you over four breathtaking mountain passes: Passo Gardena, Passo Sella, Passo Pordoi, and Passo Campolongo.
Each pass is a story. Every curve, a view that stuns. This is alpine motorcycling at its peak.
The Route: An Icon Etched in Asphalt
Distance: ~55 km loop
Duration: Half-day to full-day (depending on stops and lunch)
Riding Level: Intermediate to advanced

The Four Passes:
Passo Gardena (2136 m): Elegant switchbacks, epic views of Sassolungo and the Cir peaks.

The tour loops through Val Gardena, Alta Badia, and Arabba, creating a continuous ribbon of natural and mechanical harmony.
