SELLARONDA HERO
One of the toughest mountain bike marathons in the world
Every year in mid-June the Sellaronda Hero takes place, probably the most exhausting mountain bike race in the Dolomites. In an almost heroic way, the participants have to cope with a lot of kilometres, endless ascents and thousands of metres in altitude. There are two different routes to choose from: the Marathon distance runs over 85 km and 4,500 vertical metres, and the Classic distance over 60 km and 3,400 vertical metres. Both routes start in Selva Val Gardena and pass through the beautiful but demanding Dolomite passes of the Sella Massif and the Sassolungo.
