From Steam to Breath: Biking on the Former Railway

Set out on a gentle bike journey along the former railway line of the historic Trenino delle Dolomiti, following a route that once connected Cortina to Dobbiaco. The path winds through a scenic alpine valley framed by majestic peaks, offering a quiet and immersive way to explore the landscape. As you ride, you pass old railway buildings, cross an iron bridge suspended above a dramatic gorge, and cycle through a historic tunnel once travelled by steam locomotives. Along the way, small details reveal the layered history of mountain life, including a centuries-old church standing as a witness to the region’s long-established communities. 

Today, this former rail line invites you to retrace the past at a slow pace, surrounded by nature and open views, with the freedom to turn back whenever you wish and return to Cortina along the same evocative path.
