Day 7
After crossing the border to Italy early in the morning, we start curving towards our next destination – the Dolomites. As we ride through the wide valleys of Friuli, Italy's northeastern region, we start seeing high mountains in the distance towards the west. We enter the region of the Carniche Alps and soon find ourselves on the first serious mountain passes. We ride past Cortina d'Ampezzo and soon reach the Falzarego and Valparola passes. Today we won't go any higher as we are already at the elevation of 2.200 m (7.200 ft). In the afternoon, we get to Corvara, a nice little town set amidst the high mountains.
