Goal and turn point of that motorbike tour are the Tre Cime di Lavaredo (3 peaks of Lavaredo) and it leads us in an eastern circle through the Dolomiti mountains. We begin our tour in the Eggental valley and go across the Karerpass down to Val di Fassa valley (lots of traffic in August). From there we go across the Sellajoch, Grödnerjoch to Corvara and follow the Badia valley north. Just before we reach Bruneck, we go right and cross the Furkelpass (just about 500ft. before you reach the summit, there is a fabulous guesthouse on the left hand side, hidden in a small forest just before the ski cable cars, where we always go for lunch). We then follow the road down to Toblach and exit right to the Höhlenschluchttal (hell valley canyon). The road up to the Tre Cime is a toll road (it’s worth to go up there). Back we ride passing Misurina lake, Cortina d’Ampezzo, Passo Giau and Passo di Fedaia.
