Your Maratona Trip
Day By Day Maratona dles Dolomites - Enel 2025
Day 1 - Arrival
Touch down in Venice. We’ll be waiting to take you to your hotel if you book airport transfer with us. Check in, relax and make full use of the spa. Apperitivos are served tonight in the wine cellar, followed by dinner.
Day 2 - Guided Riding
Today you can spin your legs and check your bike is problem-free. You can also pick up your registration pack and race number from the organisers village.
Guided rides are available for both hosted and non-hosted clients. We cycle on the Sella Ronda route: 52 km of the most awe-inspiring cycling you’ll ever experience. The ride takes place in the Campolongo, Pordoi, Sella and Gardena climbs. 52 km long with 1800 m of climbing, it will set you up nicely for the big event, with no gradient more treacherous than 7%.
If you’d prefer to take it easy, we suggest simply riding the short journey to registration and back.
Day 3 - Rest Day
It’s the day before the race. You can join our guided ride if you’d like to test your legs, but we recommend resting up. If you do choose to cycle, the ride will start from Corvara, climb and then descend the Gardena from both sides. We’ll stop for a coffee at the top of the Gardena pass, so you can climb just one side and descend if you’d prefer.
Day 4 - Race Day
It’s an early start this morning. Breakfast is served from roughly 5.15 am, and you must be in your start pen by 6.15 am (15 minutes before the race begins). If you’re not in the pen 15 minutes before the start, the organisers will direct you to the back pen.
Roads are closed to traffic, so the plan is to freewheel from the hotel to the race start.
All riders make their way round the Sella Ronda, and you can choose your distance on the day. Unless you’re riding the short route, you’ll ride down through Arabba towards Andraz. If you’d like the 106 km route, simply turn left at the clearly sign-posted intersection, or hop over the brow of the hill to continue down to the Passo Giau and the full 138 km distance.
At the end of the race, we’ll be waiting for you in the Love Velo gazebo by the finish line. Enjoy a cold beer, take the weight off your legs and relax with us before grabbing a pizza at the Taverna or going back to the hotel for a shower. You did it!
Day 5 - Departure
Check out and catch our transfer back to Venice. Just ask us for transfer times.
