Take the bike trail heading north; go through a long tunnel carved out of rock with its typical pear-like shape to allow steam locomotives pass through and you reach the iron bridge over the Rio Felizon deep gorge, definitely worth a stop .

Ride through the next short tunnel and turn left uphill as far as the state road to Dobbiaco and cross beneath the road through the underpass (bumpy stretch).

Descend as far as the intersection with the road to Malga Ra Stua. Cross the large parking area and descend along the dirt road towards Pian de Loa (1360 m) and its picturesque hut known as “cason”.

At the intersection with the paved road, keep left and you will shortly reach the Spiaggia Verde rest area, just a few metres before the information office of the Park of the Ampezzo Dolomites.

The way back skirts the crystal clear waters of the Boite river. At the next intersection, turn left , ride through the tunnel beneath the state road and continue on flat terrain until you join the bike trail to Cortina.
