Passo Valparola from Cortina d'Ampezzo (Italy) - Indoor Cycling Training

The climb to Passo Valparola via Passo Falzarego consists of two world-class mountain passes. It starts in Cortina d’Ampezzo, host of the winter Olympics. As you start your climb, you will see houses in traditional alpine style with beautiful flowers. After the first hair-pin, you have a fantastic view of the Ampezzo Valley. For a while, you ride through some dense forest. But as you get to Pocol, you can enjoy marvelous views of the mountains again. From Pocol, you follow the same route as the famous Maratona dles Dolomites. Despite being a climb ‘out of category’, there is a segment in the middle of the ride which is almost flat. This segment is perfect to regain some energy before the last push towards the top. From Passo Falzarego, you have one small but steep climb before you arrive at Passo Valparola.

Just add music:
Most cyclists would agree that the ride to Col du Tourmalet is outstanding. But when it comes to music, opinions are very mixed. This is why we have added no music and why we recommend adding your favorite music to the ride. It is quite simple. Mute YouTube and open a browser window. Find a site that offers music (Spotify, YouTube, etc…) and pick the music you like, and enjoy the ride... The original sound of the ride has been left out. This is because the natural sound of the surroundings is drowned by noise from passing cars, vibrations from the road, wind, and the rider's breathing.
