  1. For those wanting to enjoy the Dolomites WITHOUT the big crowds associated with the Maratona, here's a shameless plug for our Legendary Climbs tour http://www.cycleitalia.com/legendary-climbs-east-dolomites.htm
    We depart the Maratona area on July 9, after riding most of the famous climbs there and head over to ride the Passo Stelvio, Gavia and Mortirolo before winding up at Madonna del Ghisallo to complete our tour.
